From what I understand, the Senate would have to approve the witnesses. So, I doubt they would have approved these. It just would have looked bad when they approve all of their witnesses and didn't approve all of Trumps.
They realized they didn't have the votes now, and witnesses were not going to change the votes, and witnesses would only make them look bad, as they had no real witnesses or done any investigation or a clue about the law anyway.

No doubt the dems would have denied Trump's list of witnesses. But that's the game they tried to play, so make them play it with Trump's chess pieces.
They noped out fast ... surprise.
