They say it’d be too much of an undertaking, cost and time-wise.
The IGN article I just read also mentions FF6 (as an example) would take 20 years to remake, and I’m wondering how that would compare to FF8 if it was even on the table. (https://www.ign.com/articles/final-fantasy-8-director-would-change-the-combat-system-in-a-remake)
I think the one of the biggest reasons was FF7 just came first and helped to bridge common themes in the FF universe to a more novel (at the time) style of gameplay which included 3D graphics and a significantly larger story with a more expansive world.
IMO FF8 took a lot of what made FF7 critically acclaimed and fine-tuned it while giving a more modern and realistic story/world.
I see FF7/8 as a sort of renaissance to the FF universe; FF9 and beyond owing a bit of themselves to what 7/8 accomplished.
Here’s a pretty good video on it (recommend setting it to 1.25x speed)
KVM trays are generally only used for terminal/CLI access where widescreen doesn’t make much sense.
Widescreen ones are available (though not as plentiful) when the user is regularly using GUIs on it.

And I thought I was the only one with that habit
