It may seem a weird idea, but I was thinking if Venice kept Morea it would lead to the Ottoman Greeks being more loyal to the Ottoman state.
Venetian Morea => more stable Ottoman Empire?

Because the Venetians to my knowledge treated the Greeks like crap while the Ottomans, less so.

Because Venetian rule sucked so much that in OTL the Greeks rebelled in favour of the Ottomans. By having the Venetian having Morea the Greeks strongholds of Attica and Euboea would fear a Venetian takeover and be grateful for the less distasteful rule of the Ottomans.
In general the Greeks disliked the Venetians/Latins more than they disliked the Ottomans. Of course, I can't see that making the Greeks any more loyal to the Ottomans, however it does mean that it's much less likely we'll see a (successful) war of independence considering Morea was practically the center of revolt.
