I think this is actually the biggest reason for why there's no possible way for a modern Matrix sequel to be any good. The Matrix is supposed to be about rebellion against the system, but modern Hollywood is all about conforming to the system. They're not willing to break any real taboos or advance any position that seriously challenges the establishment consensus, so the "rebellion" always has to be very weaksauce.
