And that explains why the original games are getting pulled from steam/gog.

That's definitely related but still doesn't explain it.

Doesn't it? The people making the new game don't want to dilute focus on their new product. When somebody searches for Delta Force on Steam, they want it only to return the new game. This is like when Rockstar pulled classic GTA: SA before dropping the remaster.
