Why do some decompiled games get multiplatform ports?

EDIT: The thread title should be Why don't some decompiled games get multiplatform ports?

Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time got much attention for their ports to anything that can run them. The Paper Mario and Minish Cap source codes have been available for a while but as far as I know, they never got PC or Switch ports which would have been amazing.

Either that or the game's code being a mess and that makes it harder to port to other platforms
