Because I think minhag avoseihem beyadeihem would mean that a future
Sanhedrin would only repeal gezeiros for which there is motivation to
repeal. A lack of motivation to persist would be insufficient.

I am saying this because to me it feels like it ties back to our
discussion of the Rambam, shemittah and minhag ta'us. A minhag whose
motivation is proven false is not a ta'us, only a minhag that is
proven to be halachically problematic.
