Because the internet would hate it for being different. It's really a no-win. Many "fans", even those asking for it, would rage over the final product, no matter what they did. That's the rather awful state of Final Fantasy fandom. It's a game series where many of those who buy the games don't even like the genre, as ridiculous as that sounds.
FF7 especially, where it would probably go from "OMG I want a FF7 remake" to "OMG WHAT DID YOU DO TO FF7!!!1!" FF7 was kind of the turning point, where it became the CoD of RPGs and brought in a ton of non-RPG fans because Cloud had a giant sword, the cut-scenes, and the sexual tension between he and Sephiroth.
