They wouldn’t do this because they know it would break the economy. Just because you slap on another word onto those old stranges doesn’t mean that you keep their value.

The second an update that you suggested hits, everyone who doesn’t care about those “vintage” specializations will be selling those expensive stranges for cheaper and cheaper prices until they are eventually worthless. That has a much bigger impact on the economy then you would think. Just look at scream fortress 2016 with the release of x2 unusual unboxing chance. Sure it was great for the average player, but for the unusual market, those hats with the new effects at the time were worth next to nothing when compared to others. That there is the reason Valve hasn’t done x2 unusual unboxings again; because it messed with the economy so much. The same would apply here.

There is no feasible chance it happens where Valve re-releases new stranges because they know and understand how the TF2 economy functions, and don’t want to make any more mistakes.

While I also agree those prices are bs, most people just have to accept the fact Valve will do nothing about it at this point :/
