Certainly. It's all a cost-benefit and risk-reward analysis. Servicing it would require brand new, untested procedures, and Hubble's technology is now more than 30 years old. While designing a new space telescope is not an easy, cheap endeavor, putting the resources into helping Hubble last longer might not make sense, when those resources could go to something new and better, that can still cover Hubble's current use cases. And especially since they believe we can get another 10+ years out of Hubble without touching it, that gives time to develop alternatives, if that's what turns out to be what's needed.
