The film states in that "pitch meeting" to me that they don't even know what to make because people want different things. Some people like lore building and story, while others what big ideas and themes.
I think they tried to have it all...and sort of had none of it.
I would have been fine with a "next generation" story of people 60 years later as I did find machine allies and bringing a program into our world to be interesting. Also could have let some new characters breath without the weight of the old hovering over them. A nice nod such as a monument to the big three (Neo, Trinity, Morpheus) been nice.
I say strip it down to lean budget, give it to John Wick guys with a young cast, and can make interesting stories in Matrix (I really liked animatrix).
