I don't get why they made this even though the movie already aired on Tv in Japan. So what's the point of the Tv? I initially thought that there will be Muzan meeting in the Tv version and to better out the pacing, they released it again in Tv form but the meeting wasn't even there and people are saying it might be in the One hour long episode in Entertainment district arc.
I don't want to jump to conclusions so is there a statement by Ufotable as to why they made this into Tv form again? If there is no definite answer, then I'm just gonna assume their plan was just to milk it.

Money?
The movie was very successful, so it makes sense to milk it. They didn't even try to hide that tbh-
All opinions are valid, unless they hurt people. Or suck.

Nope, not that I know of at least. It's just easy money. Also, it ensures that everyone has seen the content that the movie covers, so they can watch the Red Light District Arc without getting confused. That probably wasn't their intent though. They could've easily just put the movie on TV. So yeah, it's probably just because they want more money.

the production committee decides that even though ufotable is part of the production committee they are not the sole member of it so the decision is about majority rules

the production committee for this show franchise is as follows
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Aniplex (Anime/Music Distributor), Shueisha (Manga Publisher), ufotable
https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/bl1sct/list_of_the_companies_funding_animes_production/

so Aniplex and Shueisha being the top of the production committee have more decision power than ufotable

Likely just for money, and possibly to get more time to work on the actual season 2. But who really cares anyway, they did it well enough, and these kinds of things have existed in anime for who knows how long.

If you're going to be correcting grammar, then at least spell grammar right. Also, how is that even related? Who cares if they used it wrong?

There are a bunch of reasons but the main reason is for the money. But a few other reasons are that a few people did not have access to the movie and this made it more accessible for them. Also, anime usually do this to make it watchable in the long run. Like when people want to pick this anime up 5 years from now they much rather watch all the ep than hopping between movie and ep. But all of these are small reasons. The primary reason is to make money by by reducing efforts. Honestly, I didn’t mind it I just wish the next arc is not extremely small because of these episodes.

To answer your question, ufotable or aniplex did state that this TV anime will be aired for all those people mostly in japan who missed out on watching the movie in theaters. This anime was made into a weekly scheduled to TV series for all those japanese who couldnt watch the movie due to tickets being sold out, corona or any other factors.
I dont think they are trying to milk this series cause they movie already earned more than 500m dollars and this TV anime profit cant even be compared to it.
The only way how I see it is that they are trying to make sure more and more people watch it and get to know kny just for future projects.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Lol, I literally said they even aired the Movie on Japanese Television. So there was no point in releasing it in episodes.

For years, anime films were often considered non-canon, so netizens weren't always keen on watching them. It seems like most everyone in Japan knows about Demon Slayer's film, but there are plenty who aren't in the loop both overseas and domestically. By redoing the Mugen Train arc, fans will be able to enjoy the entire story through the TV series alone, and this will benefit fans in the coming years. Films aren't as accessible as anime TV series, so the redo is forward-thinking to those fans in the future who may not even know a movie exists.

Also its kind of unrelated but you refer to this page as well

Well, I can't think of 3 reasons in which all can be true, or some can be false and others can be true..

1. Milking.
- according to the manga readers for demon slayer, it's story isn't as long as your typical shonen. Going by that, we can assume that ufotable(or whoever they're working under) wants to milk it as much as they possibly can, and it totally makes perfect sense.. Ofcourse they'd want to prolong the time they get them big bucks

2. Viewership
- we can also assume that they did it so that the people who weren't able to see it in theaters can watch it when it rebroadcasts. Even though it's the highest grossing anime movie of all time, we can't deny that not everyone and their mother has seen it yet

3. Animation
- lastly, I think we can also point to the animation quality this time.. 11 episodes may seem like "ohhh, the season is so short bleh", but remember that this is ufotable's normal format, they post 10 - 13 episodes per season and I have no idea how much strain they had when they produced a 26 episode series(referring to season 1). Well, the good thing here is that we can expect ufotable's movie level quality production despite it being in a TV series.

This is is exactly it. If you watch a lot of anime, you notice that movies are non canon and usually wrap up a series if they are canon. You can't go tv-movie-tv like that. They had to do the episode series if they wanted to continue the story.
