Sounds like second system syndrome.

  I don't think that's necessarily the case. Maybe the original version was designed around limitations and assumptions that made sense back then, which aren't there or true anymore. Maybe there were design decisions that turned out to be mistakes in hindsight but can't be dropped due to compatibility reasons.

  Adding UTF-8 support in 2024 is hardly second system syndrome. Note that these re-implementations generally try to be compatible with the original rather than starting with a completely new vision, another sign that we're not suffering from SSS here.
