Because having games designed to run on legacy platforms is simply amazing. Check out what some devs have been developing for the Mega Drive, it's absolutely mind blowing to see people pushing the hardware limits almost 40 years later.

ok ill have to agree with the cool factor. it is kinda cool getting a modern perspective for that era's limitations (on that era's platforms), id rather see that on a modern and accessible platform though like some of the games out there do.

I agree with you that there's no harm in releasing them for modern consoles (ou even for the PC), but you can always use emulators anyway.
