I love the RE 1 remake and I'm kind of glad the game didn't get another remake in the style of a third person shooter. The remake is a great homage to the classic, tank controls and limited inventory and all.
I think a better question to ask would be why the RE2 Remake took a very different approach from REmake, as that's the reason people are asking to begin with. REmake is essentially just a definitive version of RE1 with some unique twists (crimson heads, new mansion layout). RE2R on the other hand is a new experience entirely even if it retained many elements and design choices, so the original RE2 can be enjoyed on its own merits.
That and also why they won't just release a classic trilogy collection already for fucks sakeI found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
