I could see old Pixar, in the time this show was made being very against this show. I'd certainly believe that. The company was always about quality and innovation and not churning sequels or TV shows.I was also a big fan of this show, which is why I am particularly harsh on the movie. There was already a perfect prequel.
Now of course, not sure how true it is, but Pixar hated this show cause they didn't make it (only contribution being the theme song, which they were forced to do). Thus why it is not on Disney+. Lot of corporate politic stuff that is believable.
Whether the rumors are true or not, if Pixar wanted this to be the definitive Buzz prequel over Disney's TV series, they really needed to hit it out of the gate and top what that series did...and they didn't.
It's similar to how Web Slingers is not the definitive Spiderman ride nor will it ever be.
Current Pixar though? Post Disney acquisition Pixar? Probably not even the same people or mindset as old Pixar. They've already made tons of ABC TV Toy Story specials as it is.
Just like Lucasfilm and Marvel, when Disney acquired them they claimed the companies would still have independent leadership, but we know who calls the shots.
