Honestly if they brought back Tommy it would ruin a lot of points the creators have tried to make. It definitely nullifies the whole death thing if he's resurrected. They killed Laurel to make it permanent and they was major backlash but they decided to stick to their guns to try and make death mean something. Bringing Tommy back would ruin that. Also not every person on the show has to become a vigilante or super villain. Tommy and Moira are the only main characters that haven't (Quentin is a little bit I guess). Malcolm didn't even want to bring back Sara so I doubt he would bring back Tommy because he didn't believe it was possible. Nyssa was free at the time and she would never allow it, she wouldn't have even wished it upon her worst enemy let alone and innocent. And Tommy has no reason to hate Oliver. He forgave Oliver and yes Tommy loved Laurel but Laurel is not defined by Oliver. She did not nor she did she want his permission to become a vigilante. Oliver was on death's door when Laurel became the Black Canary even though nobody thought she could. She was a hero and Tommy should feel pride over the fact that she died trying to save lives, not anger. That would be like Tommy wanting her to blame Oliver for his death when Tommy chose to save her. It just wouldn't work.
