The protocol is 30 years old. It has been replaced 3 times over by thunderbold. The connector doesn’t fit on most modern devices and has been replaced by usb-c.
the peripherals that use it are significantly cheaper now than their modern alternatives, and the cables go farther than USB 2.0 let alone 3.0 or thunderbolt. I like it for reasons similar to why I like VGA, namely price while still being good enough for modern usage.
notably not the same thing at all
Is the wish to bring back an outdated communication protocol or an outdated connector?
the communication protocol doesn’t seem that outdated, and the only issue with the connector seems to be price and size

Why would anyone want it back?
