Poor BCCI bend the knee and recently paid around $120-ish million of tax to Gov. So yeah ODI World Cup is not going anywhere unless ICC gets drunk and wants to kill the golden goose, this will be self-destructive for ICC.
Also, BCCI hardly takes any profit from Asia Cup. In fact, they put all the profit into ACC's piggy bank which is shared by other boards.
There was no Asia Cup from 2019 to 2021 and the Asian Cricket Council went in to red because of that. Most of the revenues from the 2022 tournament was used to clear the outstanding debt. Now the BCCI is threatening to pull out of the tournament in 2023. And this will once again push the ACC towards bankruptcy. And let's not forget the fact that a sizable chunk of the money ends up with associate nations such as Malaysia and Nepal. In case the tournament gets cancelled, the associate nations will be disproportionately impacted.
Small correction, not threatening to pull out but unilaterally decided to pass "Neutral venue" as a possible solution.
Do Malaysia and Nepal get anything from it? I'm not aware of that, talking about Men's Asia cup revenue model. I know BCCI doesn't get a single penny from ACC.

It has also been reported that Pakistan has been very angry about the suggestion India made that the next Asia Cup should not be held in Pakistan. Instead, it should be held in a neutral venue. You can understand why Pakistan is very angry. In addition, I have heard that Pakistan has threatened that if the Asia Cup venue is shifted from Pakistan to a neutral venue, then they will not be participating in the World Cup 2023. As far as I am concerned, there is no reason why the Asia Cup should be held in a different venue. I am sure that there is going to be very good security provided to the players and all the members of the cricket boards if it comes to a security issue.
