Considering how many records Jurassic World broke... They probably would like to replicate that success with another big 90's film and bring in the Billions.
Obviously the reward will hopefully out-weigh the risk.

It certainly beats rebooting something for a 3rd time like Spiderman, and they are retaining some sort of story continuity even if some of it is retconned, so I'll give them props for that.

If you are asking about ID4 sequel, it's a full on sequel not a reboot. 

 

The story is about how the aliens have been watching us and planning their revenge after they got beaten last time. Over those 20 years, earth has also been planning and now we about to have a show down. 

Er. I know it's a sequel. I thought I worded it well enough to get that point across. :P
