People don't remix new VGM because it's already layered with a considerable amount of complexity, which requires significant amounts of creativity and talent. It would be a significant undertaking to make

and
you can really take any direction you want and still have it feel like the original, because it's a catchy melody line with a little bit of a bassline and nothing else. Remixing it in your own style is compositionally much easier.Because there is less material to respect and stay faithful to in older games, it is easier to approach an older song and come out with something new that can stand alongside it. Because new songs are already compositionally complete, doing a full 're-imagining' of a song from a Mass Effect or a God of War requires much more nuance.
