Couple reasons I can think of:
- Lack of marketing. The first time I'm hearing of a Braid remaster is from the creator bitching about its poor sales.
- Lack of replayability. Most people who played it the first time are probably satisfied with their playthrough and not convinces that they need to go through it again.
- Lack of value add. The game went on sale all the time on Steam, XBX, PSN, etc. I'm pretty sure I got the Steam version on a Humble Bundle for a few bucks, and I believe I had the PS3 or PS4 version as a free game on PS+ one month. Given that I could never muster the interest to finish the original game (which I can still happily play on Steam, mind you), I'm not sure why I'd want to buy the game again.
I think this was a miscalculation on the team's part that there would be sizable interest in a remaster. I mean I enjoyed World of Goo back in the day, too, but I don't feel like I need a remaster of that, either.
Then again, this is the guy that IIRC put all of his earnings from Braid directly into The Witness's development (essentially making it another make-or-break title even after Braid's success), so you get the feeling that however talented a developer he might be, maybe the guy needs someone above him to spot-check his financial decisions.
