ST HDRemix was by Sirlin who fucked off from the FGG. It's kind of funny though because now people are finally getting ST Claw fatigue.
CvS2EO decimated RCs which actually just made K Groove the strongest instead of sharing top tier with A Groove and arguably C Groove.
KoF98UM neutered one top tier but didn't fix the rest of the bottom of the cast so the scene didn't find it any more interesting, even if you could convince the Chinese to move on from it.
Upper never got traction because when it was ported to NAOMI hardware, it ended up with more input lag. That got resolved, but the game is still kind of a mess of a mish mash of sprites in different styles and systems that aren't as tight with all the nerfs across the board nevermind the outright removal of crouch canceling.
So there's legitimate reasons to not move on even without considering it would split the community.
For what it's worth, TvC is played way more in Japan than Ultimate All Stars, since UAS neutered some otherwise sauceless characters and TvC was an actual arcade game and not a Wii exclusive. So there's definitely a schism with overseas communities of this game, which is unfortunate.

It's not the top players deciding, unlike the fanfiction meta of Smash Bros. games, it's the TOs who actually have the burden of getting communities together and they're going to go with whatever the community wants to play.
