Then they should just make it more commercially available, then. Do a 3D All-Stars collection with OoT and MM and WW and TP(sans the FOMO, of course). Would satisfy people who just want OoT and we won't have to deal with another damn remake

I think either a new remaster or full remake are more likely. As you said the og is already on NSO for the people who care about retrogaming, but if you want to capture the post-BotW audience you need a modern presentation. OoT 3D existing is more evidence of the intent rather than the opposite.
I don't think re-whatevering older Zeldas would really be enough. If anything, they wouldn't really prove that there's still value in the old way, it'd just be them saying "hey remember the games we used to make before BoTW? They're pretty good, eh?"
For my money, an ACTUAL new game in the old framework would be more beneficial to proving its worth. Both Tears and Echoes inadvertently proved that committing to one style over another is more ideal than trying to balance the two in a single game.
I don't think "proving their worth" is remotely in their minds. They just want their series as a whole to stay successful, and capitalising on iconic titles from the past is one way aside from new entries.
Depends on what they want to do. If it's something more barebone, sure, it'll be limited in scope but still more widely available. If it's a reimagining, they could capitalise on the iconic status of OoT with a fully modern presentation for a wider appeal.
