I'm a little surprised at this, as the area needing this much TLC would seem like a good enough reason for Disney to pull the contract from Uni. It also makes me sad to see that Uni doesn't seem to be pumping any money into MSHI, aside from the The Hulk.
Disney/Marvel can’t simply “pull the contract” as it was written with an incredible slant towards Universal. Uni has to keep the attractions up to date, which they have for the most part (still highly rated in the park GSATS, behind Potter rides).
When Hulk reopemed with new track, there wasn’t a huge marketing campaign behind it, and MSHI has seen less coverage in commercials and advertising since the push for Spider-Man’s ride film update. My conspiracy theory is that Universal is actively looking for a replacement for the land, since they can’t really capitalize on the MCU (apart from merch, which split sales profits with Marvel/Disney).
