Even if they did decide to reuse him, unless they retconned his accelerated aging, he'd still be an old man. Even in MGS science there's been nothing to indicate they can reverse aging. Parasites/Nanos combo son! lol, seriously retconning something is one of the most easiest things to do in pretty much any fictional story, after all the shit we saw in this series, de-aging people isnt too out of that world, Solid Snake is the character with the highest selling games in the franchise and pretty much the face of the franchise, ¿do you think Konami is gonna kill him?

Seriously, I never saw the MGS verse as a coherent down to earth universe, metal gear universe is pretty much marvel comics at this point or any over the top military anime.

We have Parasites that allow people to turn invisible, auto regenerative rocklike shield, teleport.

Nanomachines that can turn people into unkillable superhuman beings like Vamp or giving ridicuolus amount of destructive Hulk-like powers like Armstrong.

Cyborg technology that can produce pretty much a cybernetic demi-god like Raiden.

It would be stupid to bring Solid Snake back? Yes

Is stupid from a marketing/selling standpoint? HELL NO, if they put Hayter back in the game as Solid, is gonna rain money on Konami HQ, the original hero + his original VA = Success
