I agree it is pretty sad considering that X is my second favorite series of the franchise. However X isn't the only one suffering neglect ZX and, of course Legends have also been given the short need of the stick. It's truly sad but I don't think confusing storyline is the reason that Capcom doesn't want to continue it. It's the fact that right now Capcom wants to make a quick buck with minimum effort it seems which is really sad.
They don't see the series profitable because it doesn't meet their profit expectations so they see producing Megaman games as a major profit loss. But it's also because they shoot themselves in the foot like you wouldn't believe. Capcom is not known for innovation, they just reuse the same crap over and over again until they see it's not working. But instead of trying to improve it, they just cast it aside and concentrate on their other money makers. You can especially see it when compare X1-X3 individually and X4-X6 individually. Then with how bland X7 was X8's chances were shot to hell before it made it stores.
The reason that Capcom would most likely make more Classic games is because they are easy to make, and cheap I would think, and people will always love nostalgia and nostalgia always sells.
You don't get it.
The same way I could say:
"What's the point of discussing the X/Zero/ZX story, if Capcom's interest with the series is non-existant. Plus the horrible storytelling."
In fact, this could be applied to all other MEGAMAN discussions.
And it's kind of a stupid argument. I get what you're trying to say, but really, it is.
I do agree it's a stupid argument but it's the mind set that I'm seeing in this thread from the responses. Not to mention there have been other threads like this in the past somewhere, maybe they don't want to repeat themselves or the story in their head changed. I really don't know but I do agree that it's pretty sad that we can't think of anything.

And I'm considering this Universe's Josei to be 25 or something, so Swallow is more like 19... don't ask me why she's still hanging around as Batguy's sidekick as they're usually younger than that. Come to think of it 19 is still teenaged so I guess its not wrong.)
