I don't think there will ever be a SC3 but rather a new IP with RTS elemtens because this way they have way more freedom in development, balancing, story and even ways to make money of off. And it would always be compared to BW and SC2 and probably shitted on as a result. There is no winning there.
Take some elements out of all the successful games and mash it together in a new IP. RTS, Heroes, Moba elements and some hacking & slaying and voila. Skins, battle passes or, my personal favorite, a cheater free P2P (or earn 2 play) ladder

Blizzard for the last few years have made it very clear that they are much more interested in breaking into "new" markets rather than continuing to leverage their dominance of the few they already have.

Blizzard absolutely dominates the MMORPG and RTS markets and has for a decade and 2 decades respectively. One could make the argument they are the biggest player in the ARPG market as well, although to say they dominate this market would be a little bit of a stretch.

Prior to the launch of Diablo IV (which has gone SWIMMINGLY let me tell you /s) all of their focus in their new games has been on the FPS, and mobile game markets, while continuing to develop and milk their WoW cash cow.

Diablo IV has gotten almost no serious developer attention since it launched because their only interest has been pushing out a new expansion pack for it.

SC2, Warcraft 3, Heroes of the Storm have all been abandoned.

I don't know what in all of that tells you guys that you think Blizzard is interested in investing back into the RTS market. They are doing the absolute bare minimum to hang onto their control of the MMO market, and their place in the ARPG market. All of their focus and attention has been breaking into the mobile and FPS markets.
