Easy answer is that making 2 more versions instead of a third version equals more money. With the newest gen, I hated that there was no in-game national dex, made me lose interest even quicker. That coupled with no vs seeker/rebattleable trainers (save the elite four) makes me not come back to the game. Those are the reasons why I still play platinum/heart gold/omegaruby instead of black/white, x/y, and sun/moon.
I also dislike the fact that they are trying to appeal to the kanto crowd. I mean, look I'm 24 and have been playing since red/blue/yellow, but I look forward to the new gens with the new regions and new Pokémon. It's bull that they are mainly making references to kanto, I mean all the alolan form Pokémon were kanto ones, I was waiting to see ones from gen 2 and up, but no they got to try and bring back the "nostalgic crowd". I really wouldn't be surprised if the next remakes were remakes of Red and Blue again to try and capitalize more on Pokémon nostalgia.
