Why it doesn't cannonically make sense for cayde to have a statue
I see a lot of people wanting cayde to have a big memorial somewhere in the tower and while I completely understand and somewhat agree with this from a player perspective, lore wise it makes no sense.
Think of all the heroes of the tower. Saint-14, Wei Ning, Eriana-3, The Iron Lords and all the previous hunter vanguards like Andal Brask. There was never anything comemorating them, we only knew of their existence through lore tabs outside of the game. I'm not sure if it's a case of denial or maybe just an acceptance of the dangerous way guardians live but they don't seem to be big on memorials. Cayde is merely the latest in a long line of dead heroes, the only reason he's special is because we as a player knew him personally. Just an observation.
Edit: To all those saying, yes I know 8 of the Iron Lords have statues but that is at Felwinter peak and that temple was closed to all but Saladin for hundreds of years. The tower is/was void of any memorials save the small ones we have for Cayde. Maybe there is a graveyard for honoured guardians somewhere in the city but there is not one at the tower.

In contrast to your statement there actually is no canonical reason that there should not be a memorial to cayde.your reasoning makes absolutely no sense. Just because we havent seen the memorials ourselves doesnt mean they dont exist. And as others have mentioned, there are other memorials such as the ones to the iron lords, what does it matter if they are in the tower? In fact it wouldnt make much sense for them to be in the tower, given the fact that they didnt really seem to operate out of the tower. It makes sense for cayde to have a memorial in the tower, since that was basically his base, and he was a vanguard. And it would make sense to have some kind of larger, potentially temporary memorial in the part of the tower we are in, because it is the active part of the power for active guardians. In fact we have already seen them have a temporary statue in the tower for a far less significant event, so why would they not do one for a much more important event, the death of one of the three vanguards?
