They could consider the idea of making an Accel anime one day, but now it only has 11 chapters and the first arc is still ongoing and doesn't seem near to its conclusion. Even for Railgun anime they announced it months after the Sister arc had already started. In addition, there is already a huge demand for a third season Index, it is already hugely popular even without Accel anime, and has tons of material (more than Railgun remaing material and Accel manga combined). So why should they give precedence to the anime adapation of a series whose popularity has yet to be safely determined (logically, they should at least wait the end of the first arc to determin it and only after that start the work on the anime) and actually lacks material? There is also the risk that fans will get pissed and will complain as they have been waiting Index 3 for years and they got trolled (or at least feel that way) with the Heavy Object anime's announcement.
