There's a decade of content built and balanced around the server ticks. They'd have to redo it all. It would require an entire code rewrite.

In a recent interview, Yoshi said something along the lines of "I don't know if you realize you're asking for an entirely different game" when asked about boring combat. While that's not very relevant in the context of "please bring back team resource management, aggro management, and get rid of the party buff meta", it's extremely relevant when you're asking this question.
That's complete hogwash if I ever heard it. For one, if they fixed the net code they wouldn't have to rebalance absolutely everything around it. What would happen is people would be able to do the current content and the content in the next few patches a lot more easily. They can't adjust for something that hasn't happened yet, let alone they have no data for.
