Morrowind remake should have come before Oblivion. I deeply wish to experience Morrowind again with updated graphics.
I suspect that it is considerably harder to do because of the engine and requires nearly a full remake.
Honestly, I feel like Morrowind is the title least in need of a remaster, as unlike later 3D titles, it has an open-source fan reimplementation of the engine, OpenMW, plus the fan updates of content.

It looks like the OpenMW people are also working on a VR version.
Those graphics are ass compared to what could be done today. Just look in the leap from Oblivion to the remaster. Morrowind making a jump in graphics would be monumental.

Bethesda could earn a significant amount of goodwill back by simply using OpenMW on a Morrowind Remaster and helping with its development, even if only for a year.

That makes zero business sense. Bethesda would never make money on throwing away thousands or tens of thousands of man-hours on that. They would spend more on a remaster, but they would make money in the end.
The Oblivion remaster sold more in two weeks than Oblivion made in a year. It sold more copies in April alone than the original did in 15 months.
