I'm not so sure about this - the reason why I think they couldn't do an open primary is it would create lots of division within the party too soon before the election. Don't forget what happened in 2016 when Sanders got snubbed for Hillary - a lot of Bernie Bros went over to Trump in 2016. I also think they needed to go with Kamala in order to meet FEC rules to acquire the campaign finances.
The reason they didn’t do an open primary was because it was June and Biden is a prideful man who has been trying to become President for decades and wasn’t going to go without everyone and their neighbor pressuring him and convincing him that he had no shot at winning as an actual candidate. There was no time for a primary, and the DNC’s directive has always been about maintaining this air of unity and stability, especially since the chaos of the first Trump administration.
A hung convention would have been a way more interesting show, but they are still convinced America doesn’t actually want an exciting show, but a boring one. Yes, even now.
