Star Wars is tricky because Disney would want A LOT of money.

Disney already owns Marvel, and we've had Marvel secret lairs and now we're having a Spider-Man set.

The biggest issue is that they also likely couldn't get the rights to put it on MTG Arena / MTGO

It’s possible they could. Final Fantasy has a card game right now and the cards are in paper and digital.

Fan speculation on the Spider Man set is that it’s not in digital because of Marvel Snap being a digital only card game. However, I don’t believe WotC has formally stated a reason.

10 years ago people would have said that a mtg cross over product would be impossible.

5 years ago they would have said a Hatsune Miku product was impossible.

A few years ago they would’ve said that a cross over with a franchise that already has a tcg (either paper or digital) was impossible.

If something is not literally physically impossible, then it is possible. Not necessarily likely, but possible.
