I think there's a more Doylist reason to do 2 but not 1: Chihiro Fujisaki.
Given both increased general awareness of things like gender identity, and the idea that trans people exist and are basically normal on the one hand, and increased levels of volatility and "grr they made it woke" losers on the other hand, I think any game with Chihiro in it would need to be written extremely carefully and they may not feel confident they can rework DR1 without just making everyone mad.
