I think it was always more feasible to do that analysis with humans on Mars rather than a sample return mission. They just wanted to future proof the mission in case some reasonable enough mission came along that presented an opportunity.
Technically it is home. It may never leave Mars*
How much was that MSR plan? 11 Billions? They build a rover with sample extraction system that requires a mission so expensive that there is no way it will get funded
Does not need to ‚come home‘ just send up a robotic lab. Doing that is also much cheaper.
It was never intended to come to earth.
Soooo this article could be “thing that was never meant to happen is still not happening.”
And also… do we really want to bring any potential biohazard from another planet to earth?
