Yeah but even if they burned the franchise down tomorrow there is still 35+ years of content out there they can't touch and that's just 40k and not even touching Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar. The amount of books, magazines, videogames, editions of the game, models is staggering. You could read a new book or play a new game every day and you'd probably die before you get to end of it.
Yeah but even still the setting wasn't erased from existance. You can still read the books, buy models and even play Warhammer Fantasy with your friends. The fans have also made at least three seperate "9th Edition" efforts and army lists for every single army mentioned in the fluff.
That's also ignoring the elephant that GW has reversed themselves and they are making The Old World and will support that with years of content.
I get your point, but fanmade 9th edition isn't the same as the official product. No major tournaments, no offical support, less clubs and players, etc.

That will lead to the same problem that Total Warhammer had. The setting that people were invested in simply not being there anymore.
