So they cant because they lost the original code… Wouldn’t be the first time.
Like seriously, people want a remake so the game runs on modern systems, not because you need to change much story, graphics or gameplay. Maybe some quality of play changes and higher resolution support but thats not much work.
You can still run Fallout 1 and 2 on modern hardware. Maybe not the original disks, but a remake wouldn’t fix that anyways.
A remake would involve redoing nearly everything in the base game in a new engine. You’re likely thinking of a remaster, which brings it up to modern hardware without rebuilding the whole thing.
They would at worst need to redo the code, the graphics and the text can be mostly reused without problem, the storyline wouldn’t change, the world building wouldn’t either. Putting the stuff into another code isn’t that hard for games like fallout 1 and 2 wich are more Text based.
A complete remake is absolutely unnecessary and nobody wants that. There is no reason to remake something that just needs some changes under the hood and maybe some upscaling for the textures.
Idk if this counts as remake or remaster, id argue its something in between.
Oh and its running on modern hardware, but not on modern Operating system, at least not without issues. The possibility of getting it to work on more modern OSs in the future is increasingly getting lower. Putting it into new code wouldn’t be much work but would help to preserve the game.
Who cares? Its a old game and it shouldn’t be changed. Shure its not good that it was like that back then, but changing it would be ignorant of the past.

A remake isn’t needed for fallout 1 or 2

Rewriting the entire code for 2 25 year old games without changing the end result is a lot of work.
They’d also need to redo the voice acting for legal reasons like mods do and change some of the dialogue that wouldn’t fly these days.
The voice acting yes, but the dialog shouldn’t be changed.
Keeping the low INT female chosen one dialogue with Myron or half of San Francisco would probably start a shitstorm nowadays.
