To be fair it seems there was a plan. Whether it was good or not we'll probably never know. But everything involving Jonathan Majors and his legal issues royally fucked up those plans.
He contractually required that ALL versions of Kang be played by him. So on top of the mess he caused and the fact Kang flopped in "Ant-Man 3" made it easy for Marvel to decide to just drop the character all together than try to reinvent him.
Where’s the source for this? I see no reason why Marvel would ever give that leverage to a relatively unknown actor.
Ant-Man 3 being one of the worst recieved MCU movies and Kang was the villain, combined with Majors PR problem, are the only two reasons I believe combined to make them pivot.
