I would assume that contractually the BBC and EBU came up with some sort of deal or financial incentive towards the hosting of Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool if the BBC agreed to participate in JESC in the contests surrounding the event.
As that has now lapsed, I would assume the BBC had no real intention in bringing this forward beyond this unless ratings were good. Given it was relegated to BBC Two last year, I think the BBC's interests in it were already gone by then.
