I think it's less that audiences want inaccurate dinosaurs and more that the brain trusts behind the franchise have a dogmatic commitment to not changing anything. That's not a unique problem to JW since almost every running franchise is guilty of it, but it is a shame. They also have a semi-flanderisation kinda thing going on where every big bad dinosaur has to be more monstrous and mean than the last which has taken away from some of the things that made the first great but I don't think that'll push the GA away much. Anyway, I think you can have all the things you want from the franchise without having, say, a baryonyx that looks nothing like a baryonyx. Some of the things they change are just baffling.

Honestly, I think the interest is already there. I think the more in-tune with paleontology people just want them on the big screen in a way that's more true to life than what JW has been serving. Obviously they're in no way obligated to do so but it's a shame nonetheless. JP3 is legit my least favourite movie of all time so I can't get on board with any defense of it lol.

I'm gonna go see Dominion and I'll get a base level of haha dinosaurs enjoyment out of it but I don't think it's unfair to say that the franchises commitment to outdated portrayals of dinosaurs can be harmful to science comms from actual paleontologists and paleoartists and what not. I don't think it's a huge deal or anything but it just makes things more difficult and there's really no reason why they can't keep up with the times.
