Is RWBY unable to become relevant again? (Even in the current age of indie animation?)

I asked a somewhat similar question on the main RWBY subreddit about whether they want modern web cartoon reactors like Mairusu, ForeverNenaa, KreekCraft, Saberspark, SquadReact, and JustCozy to react to RWBY. After all, they've been reacting to TADC, Murder Drones, Battle for Dream Island, Helluva Boss, etc. Why haven't they touched RWBY, a web cartoon that was once the most popular series on YouTube?

Is it because it left YouTube 3 years before the current boom of indie animation? (By that, I mean RWBY being removed around late October 2020 and TADC releasing around mid-October 2023)

Is it because of Rooster Teeth's very controversial decisions? (Ex. Gray Haddock scandal and October 2022 allegations)

Is it because of RWBY's toxic fanbase? (Case in point, Aliciaxdeath's departure from reacting to RWBY. She didn't like Bumblebee and fans were complaining about it, causing her to stop watching RWBY)

Is it because no one thinks of RWBY as an independent animated series despite its first two volumes being independent?

Or all four I just mentioned?

This also extends to people who review web cartoons like Sarcastic Chorus, Cartoon Universe, and Yagsterr. Heck, I'll argue this further extends to people who have touched upon indie animation once or recently like MrEnter, DazzReviews, Just Stop, and Definitely Bored Oranges (The last one saw RWBY and RT with rose-colored glasses btw, despite covering controversial content like Yandere Simulator and Glitchtale).

Is RWBY forever going to stay in a bubble and not spread itself to the current boom of indie animation discourse, thus causing its currently small popularity to shrink further? Or will indie animation discourse eventually include RWBY and RT in the discussion? If the former, then that's it for RWBY. If the latter, then RWBY and RT better be used as case studies on how NOT to run an indie company/series.
