You are just as likely to have a Dark Knight Returns or Kingdom Come as you are to have a Long Halloween or Sinestro Corps War. Likewise, you are just as likely to have an All-Star Batman and Robin as you are a Cry for Justice. So, yeah, that's a fallacy to think that making a story non-continuity just magically makes it better.
However, you would probably do real damage to the company if you axed the main shared universe (that endless 80+ year history). That's what fans are invested in. The stories of these characters going on years and years and their evolution and their interactions with each other is the reason why there's a comic industry in the first place. Its why we even have things like the MCU. How many stories from the main Marvel Universe have they borrowed in making the MCU? Dozens. Its why we even get animated DC movies like the Death of Superman and Batman: Hush.
Consumers come for the characters, but they stay for the universe. I mean, hasn't anybody learned that lesson from the New 52's failure?
