How do you know this?

It's far more likely Williams decided a fresh approach would work for the film. After all, none of the previous themes would have suited style and half of them were for characters that didn't even appear in the third film.
We really can't know anything about what he would have written if he'd been presented with a different film. And that's what should be at argument here: the films themselves. They are where the music makes sense; thematic continuity be damned.
