“These people” asked for a fun mode in arcade. No one in that thread was suggesting this as an upgrade to the game as it was then.
You’re twisting a “lol imagine if”-suggestion into something it isn’t. As I said already, while there is debate which OW1 version is the best, most people who don’t enjoy OW2 much would agree that any version, even if not the best, is better than OW2 as a starting point.
It was almost literally the same in WoW:Classic. Classic wasn’t a monolith, that game ran for years and through multiple big updates. Some people preferred the very early versions, others preferred the later versions. But every Classic fan agreed that any version is better than retail.

I would love OW1 as an Arcade mode, that would be enough for me. Just to be able to play it from time to time, but i prefer OW2 anyway.
can you imagine some of the new 2 tank interactions we could see?
Wrecking ball mines + Mauga Cage
Mauga cage + dva nuke
Ramattra annihilation + Junkerqueen anti
Let alone seeing the return of classics like
Zarya grav + rein shatter
Orisa’s new ult + Rein shatter
Sig ult + Dva bomb

I wish they would do that, but, let’s be honest that would reduce the f2p players and that’s not profitable, but, hey Marvel Rivals is basically Ow1 pre Brig, I guess that’s good enough.
Ok.
But given the choice between Overwatch 2020 or Overwatch 2?
We both know they’d rather have Overwatch 2020 than nothing.

Overwatch 2020 is “Overwatch 1, but 3 years after most players dropped it”.
Be careful what you wish for.
Overwatch 2 is Overwatch 1 but one year and a half after I dropped it.
We’re not even asking to scratch Overwatch 2 (even though it’s an insult to everything Overwatch related).
It’s amazing how other people seem to always know what’s better for us.
