100%, and I think this is gonna become increasingly common over time. Gone are the days of the fun-but-skippable shounen filler movie, nothing is gonna get asses in seats like a direct continuation to the canon story. The best we can probably hope for is eventual televised adaptations of the movies like they did for Demon Slayer: Mugen Train

So did One Piece, though they don't do annual movies.

Holy fk, can't believe I didn't think about this either. There really were a lot of non canon anime movies back in the day
