"I would bet that our bishop would say he has met the provisio for meeting the demand for the Tridentine Mass."

I would bet their are plenty bishops who say the same - including those who don't permit the traditional Latin Mass at all ("there's no demand").
There are other neo-Jansenists who hold that one Low Mass a week in a remote area (on Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon) can be tolerated as long as all the other Sacraments (and corrupted catechesis) are administered in a modernist parish.
Any initiative from the Vatican will inevitably come to down "interpretation" and "collegiality".
As Cardinal Arinze commented in a recent interview:
"The U.S. has bishops, let them interpret that".

Good point, there will be no relief in the States.
