Re-release Endgame: Sequel to Doomsday, or just additional money to be gained?

been reading some rumors/theories that the purpose of the rerelease is because Marvel is gonna put some end-credit scene to make the transition to Doomsday seamless
but others says otherwise. some say it's jun for money to be added to the budget for doomsday filming. what do u guys think?

However, circumstances have changed, and Doctor Doom has now officially arrived in the MCU. Marvel needs a stronger and more direct narrative link, because the heroes—and the audience—are no longer waiting for Kang; they are waiting for Doom. To address this, Marvel is likely adding a new scene that somehow connects *Endgame* directly to *Doomsday*.
We already know from *FFFS* that *Doomsday* takes place four years *later* , so hopefully they link it seamlessly. I don’t believe Marvel is doing this purely for money. They already earned massively from the original release, and again re-release . So i dont think that Endgame re-release gonna be for a cash grab.
No one outside of Loki and Ant-Man had even heard of Kang so no one is waiting for him (and going by ticket sales for Quantimania, the audience wasn't waiting, either). As far as Loki and Ant-Man know, Kang is a non-factor (and Kang didn't manipulate time so Stark wasn't teasing anything about Kang).
They have Spider-Man's next movie for any Doomsday post credit scene they want to set up. They don't need to rerelease Endgame for that. Why they would add a completely unrelated scene to it years later makes no sense.
It's just a cash grab to put Endgame back in front of Avatar all-time and get people talking about Avengers again.
Because the Avengers film shows Thanos watching, and Avengers: Age of Ultron shows him saying he will do it himself, Infinity War is where he finally appears. Essentially, Avengers and Age of Ultron served as hints building up the big bad, Thanos.
After Endgame, we still do not have a single new Avengers film, which means the only meaningful place to add a post-credit scene is Avengers: Endgame. Most people go to the theater mainly for the post-credit scene (no offense if you are not one of them).
Producing a brand-new film just for that would cost Marvel millions, which is not a smart move at this stage. Re-releasing Endgame is a far more practical and lower-risk strategy, because people will definitely watch it again.
What about the next Spider-Man coming out next year? We're probably going to get our first look at RDJ in that.
An Endgame re-release is going to bring in only the MCU superfans, the general audience isn't going to pay $100+ to go see a movie they've already seen 5 times just because there's an extra 30 seconds added to it.
It's too bad there isn't a temporary amnesia drug that they could give the entire audience so they can experience it for the first time again. April 2019 was absolutely the best time I've ever had in a movie theater.
It's not like re-releasing endgame was the only way they could've included such scenes. So money definitely plays a part, they wouldn't do it this way if they weren't expecting to make money out of it.
