"Also this kinda leans into the why they don't confirm shit..." except this is literally one of 2 things they confirmed in commentary, the other being Torchwick's death... and his was actually dubious until they straight up said he was dead.

Pyrrha was literally turned to cinders after her heart was stopped by blood loss(or her lungs collapsed);


 * No body to act as a vessel(assuming the soul can be restored to the body that doesn't exist)


 * Her armor and weapons have been melted down(no phylacteries, assuming those exist)


 * and the MASSIVE soul trap/transference machinery was destroyed shortly before her death, meaning it is unlikely they have hand-held versions or another model nearby that Pyrrha's vessel could conceivably have arrived in to get stuck on RWBY's plane of existence.

the above means only 3 possible resurrection mechanics could be applied, and all 3 of them scream for abuse;


 * Time travel


 * journey to the underworld where all dead souls are, which Pyrrha probably wouldn't be the one to leave intentionally due to her "destiny" belief.


 * Some sort of infinitely powerful wish like the dragon balls... except in a world that needs saving from the grimm, they'd be better off wishing the grimm away, and that would kill all tension from the series just to revive a single character

All of those require a huge script investment and alter the story of all future plot to explain why they can't do it again.
