Why do Game Freak remake half games like Ruby and Sapphire instead of full games like Emerald?

Why do Gamefreak only remake the half games like Ruby and Sapphire instead of the full game like Emerald? I’m sure all of us can agree that Emerald was more fun than RS but they decided not to remake it. If and when the sinnoh remakes are coming it is obvious it is going to be DP that will be remaked and not platinum. Why is that when the third game in a region is the one that has the most content and yet it doesnt get a remake?

As Gekky already said, more versions mean more profit.

Even though ORAS don’t directly remake E, they still inherit a lot of E’s features, such as the abilities' field effects, EV berries, and everstones passing down natures. The Battle Frontier had its own reason for being removed.

According to an interview with Junichi Masuda, the Battle Frontier did not make a return in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for the following reason: “Put simply, the Battle Frontier wasn’t included because only a tiny number of players would have appreciated and used this game feature. Players get fed up more easily than they did in the past and aren’t attracted by these ‘demanding’ challenges.”
