Not Sure.
The reason the servers were originally removed were due to server population being low and upkeep costs stacking each month. Wasn't really a difficult decision there about closing our servers.
Time has moved on, Battlefield 1 was a mediocre successor to Battlefield 4, we all enjoyed it.
Battlefield 5... meh, I personally avoided the game like the plague but I cannot speak for the eGO community members since I became a lurker in the community. Still logging on every so often ensuring everyone was well and catching up with news, also hence dropping from eGO to e for not doing my re-training! WutFace
Would I like to see a BF4 server return? Yes, very much so.
Do I think it's a good idea? Hmmmmm, let's see...
The last 30 days on BF4 has seen the playerbase struggle to climb over 10,000 players on PC -

"10,000 players? That's a lot LB!"
And you're right, it is!
BUT
Out of all the servers currently active on Battlefield 4 only 28-30% actually have players
ON them.
See here:
https://bf4stats.com/servers/pc?limit=100&start=100
BF4 servers, filtered to PC and 100 shown per page. I found 7 pages of results, resulting to an average of 700 servers.
By just page 2 of the results, servers were already empty.
Could an eGO server populate at 64 players? Sure, depends on the map, settings and whether events are a thing again.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk and I want you all to know...
I MISS YOU AND LOVE ALL YOUR FACES!
