I don't ride the train often, so I'm not sure if things are bursting at the seams during rush hour. 4-car trains seemed like a necessity before Covid, and if ridership has fully recovered, maybe something else has changed like time of day, trip length, etc. that has made 3-car trains "good enough" for now.

It is the working going on at the storage barns that has required them to run 3-car trains on the Red line. It isn't going to be completed until early 2025. See the last paragraph at this link:
