Why not make original spy movies at that point? The point of having a franchise/series is that you have consistency.

I'd much rather watch an original action/spy movie with Tom Hardy than Tom Hardy as Bond in an one off Bond movie.

I dunno, it’s just something that popped into my mind and wanted to see what people thought. It’s true that original spy flicks might just be better, but I also think that Bond has some aspects that haven’t been explored and that would be best expressed to him (or her) rather than original IPs.
