That's the other thing. Trek tends to not half ass things, so I would imagine it would be a proper modern steel road bike and it would likely be not very cheap. So for the minority of riders who are anti-carbon, it would be a great bike, but so prohibitively expensive that they would still ride their 1995 steel frames. And for the rest of the market, you're suddenly looking at a bike that is close in price to a well equipped carbon frame that weighs a good bit less and rides very nicely. It wouldn't make any damn sense. There are plenty of boutique steel manufacturers out there to satisfy the small amount of people willing to spend real money on them.
