Disney owns Star Wars. They could release the original versions tomorrow if they wanted. So, let's not give them a complete pass. Lucas has no real say in the matter now.
I think they prefer the revised versions because the CG, grain reduction, and altered colors make it look more modern, thus fitting in with the other episodes.
And if you doubt they would care about having a slick, digital look, check out what they did to the early MCU films in 4K.
