The GTO has always been different than the Camaro and having different cars for the various divisions makes better sense than just reintroducing the Firebird as a companion to the Camaro.

You had two insightful comments here. One, the sincere interest on this site, as well as many others, for the Firebird. Though I understand why the Firebird is a non-issue (your second point), it should be recognized by GM that such a following is there.
If it were just about the different products in different divisions then we should be seeing a 442 and GS-X soon. Point being, they could sell Firebirds. Far more Firebirds in fact than a 442, GS-x, or any other muscle car from their historic stable (including GTO). So why not reintroduce Camaro's companion? It would sell more in its first year than the GTO did.
