The new Potter show is a complete retelling of the entire piece. This is not the case with Lord of the Rings: this is just another entry INTO PETER JACKSON'S AND NEW LINE CINEMA'S FILM SERIES.
Ultimately, there are four options with Tolkien adaptations:
1. Make a completely new and fresh take on the material (well, or almost completely new: the occasional homage is surely permissible)
2. Make another entry into the existing film series;
3. Make something "in between" the above two (this option naturally exists on a sliding scale)
4. Not make anything.
You're advocating for option [1] which is fine but which at present is NOT A COMMERCIAL REALITY, at least in film and television. In reality, the only projects in the works are more films from Peter Jackson (so, [2]) and Rings of Power which is decidedly in camp [3].
If the only realistic choice is between another "Peter Jackson" film and something that's a hollow imitation thereof, I know which one I'm picking. Why half-measures? And, if you're making a Peter Jackson film, then you need to respect the legacy of the piece, continuity not being a polite ask, but an imperative prerequisite.
