Never said it isn't plausible. But its not on even fields.
WoW has the mantle of being World of Warcraft. The household name for an MMO that's been popularized in multiple media and is pretty much cemented as THE MMO for years on end since it's release. They really don't have anything to lose profitwise, especially when they continue making money off BFA and now WoW Classic.

Say what you will about both those games, they still rake in the dough for Activision and it's stockholders.
