I mean it's Ben a long time since we have seen her and if we are close since dominaria is where she spawned
(Note: I am aware that's not her homeplane)
I don't know, the big problem is that she looks too much like an eldrazi. Players would just ask "why she's not an eldrazi?" and retconning her as an eldrazi wouldn't make sense.
Remember, they came as three. Not four.
Well two of those three are dead, and we don't know the full implications of that yet.
Of course, that has nothing to do with Marit Lage as far as I know.

That would be like saying that since one of my cat looks like a panther, why isn't she a panther? Just because something looks like an Eldrazi doesn't necessarily break cannon if they're not Eldrazi.
I feel like they may just leave her as a mystery. After all, being unknown and unknowable is kind of the cosmic horror schtick. If she's not Eldrazi, then what is she? Are there more like her? Can she just reappear at any time? What is she truly capable if she's fully unleashed on a plane? As long as we don't know the answers to these questions, she is an exciting reminder that the multiverse is huge, and there may be any number of things out there that we don't understand. Kind of like Emrakul sealing herself in the moon. Maybe we'll learn what's up with that, but until then she at Marit Lage are just out there, like a mysterious cosmic Sword of Damocles.
A few years ago I would have been super excited about the possibility. After BFZ, I am STRONGLY AGAINST them having Marit Lage in the story again. Maybe a mention, but I am still really salty that the solution to 2 of the three Eldrazi, creatures they had called Lovecraftian, unknowable, unstoppable, eternal boiled down to 'hit them with a larger than average fireball'. I love Chandra as a character, but that was the stupidest thing I have ever read, and I have read Green Lantern being vulnerable to wood and the color yellow.

Evolution. Your cat and panthers had common ancestor, some common ancestors started to hunt in the forest and became panthers, other started to get fed by humans and became cats.
That's why they are so similar yet so different.
Good luck finding a similar, logical explanation for Marit Lage. Having two things that looks almost the same but are not related isn't a good thing (from a narrative and creative point of view) and at the same time it would be very hard to relate Marit Lage and the eldrazi.
Easy, convergent evolution.
Can't say anything else really. Anybody can make it as easy or as complicated as they want.

Certainly doesn't mean she'll be seen any time soon.

Also because saying "no" would actually be giving information about future.
