It was negatively received during beta testing... why would you want it back?
• for historical/curiosity sake;
• to bring some more appreciation to all the work that did get somewhat finished during the project;
• for the fact that there hasn't been anything that comes close it ever since. There allegedly have been 'fragments' of the concept across subsequent titles, as appointed by Byakko in another thread (Batsu in TvC, Ingrid in CFJ/SFA3, Haggar and Hiryu in MvC3/MvC:I, Nash/Alex/Poison/Akira in SF5) but... along with that being debatable, it doesn't cover up the rest of original content from this entry (the other three fighters, the weird mechanics, story, etc.);
• because it doesn't look that bad based on the few footage clips avaiable...? Really the only precise word we have is "a beta-test happened around 2003, and it gone wrong!", taken by the few sources that documented it at the time.
I'm pretty sure most of their assets are forever lost when the project was cancelled back in 2003 (which is 19 years ago).
Probably. The only way to end speculations about that is if we got a response from Capcom, though.
