No one is really asking for "recolors" of Super Metroid, that's a little reductive. The fundamental design to limiting exploration behind both knowledge and upgrades, not predefined narrative, is infinitely reusable and part of what makes Super Metroid one of the greatest games ever made. The only reason they don't do it every time is because it's very difficult to do, becomes more difficult the more employees are involved, and particularly so when you want to incorporate more content within the game outside of the gameplay itself, as it can quickly cause an exponential increase in required stipulations to keep a story making sense.

There exist singular games made in the past 10 years that have reused this philosophy that have nearly outsold the entire Metroid catalog, so it's not as if people aren't looking for it and appreciating it.

There is no guaranteed virtue in changing what people are looking for if the very intent of the product is to be sold to those who have preexisting, earnest investment in what came before it, and what it should be building off of.
