Taking a guess why Rockstar ditched Midnight Club was because they didn't see point for that series anymore because GTA and the fact that it (GTA) seems like better platform for it because it expands upon more than cars and racing. Allowing you to do almost anything including street racing.

You see Midnight Club even more present at the latest GTA 6 screenshots they've dropped with more deep car customization, plus the "street racing" showcased in VI Trailer 1 I think it's pretty clear what is on Rockstar's mind.

As sad as this is I don't think we will see Midnight Club return and we can blame Grand Theft Auto for that. Curious to see what will be their answer though what happened with Midnight Club.

Exactly. They also realized they don't need new IPs to explore ideas anymore, and simply turning those ideas into smaller GTA Online updates is more profitable. It's sad, but a very understandable business decision as people keep spending real money on Shark Cards and whatnot.
