Why not? There is literally nothing stopping SE from doing so, except SE. There was a finality to the end of 6.0, they even said they don't want to be seen together. But what was the very first thing they did? One scion sure, but nearly all of them?

They could have easily put us in a situation where we meet some new companions. I mean, have you ever read a prologue before? Many authors will keep the main protagonist and put them in an entirely new situation because they can. They are the author, there are absolutely no literary rules stating, "When finishing one story, you must keep the same characters while introducing a new story".

Stop making excuses for poor writing, planning and execution. the white knighting has been one of the biggest detriments to this game and it's really showing.
