What are we mad for?

That's not going to happen either. In the first place, Kanon was a special case. I've been looking for about an hour for details and sourcing on this, but I'm fairly certain Kyoani only remade Kanon because it was popular enough to be profitable. Using their funds from the adaptation of Air, which did fairly decently for a VN adaptation at the time, the made Kanon after seeing how Toei's version became very popular but not what the fans wanted.

The situation is extremely different for Rewrite, which came out in 2011, long after the VN Adaptation Boom of 2006. The profitability of VNs is already well known with massive sales from adaptations like Fate/Stay Night or Clannad to back it up. The real boogeyman was the adaptation of routes into a watchable format. We already know how Little Busters was received, and that story is very easy to adapt compared to Rewrite which practically ends in world destruction with every route, leading to a resolution that can't easily lead into another route without a lot of force. Rewrite was fated to receive poor reception due to its complex nature.

Kanon's format EASILY leads into adaptation, where Rewrite does not. This is why in five whole years we did not see a single adaptation. This is not a simple case of "we didn't know it was profitable," which lead to Kyoani taking the lead with Kanon. In fact, if you look at it as a way to advertise the remaster, Rewrite+, it served its purpose as cheaply as possible. In some ways, we should be thankful to 8bit because this may never have happened without their low budget abilities. Though, this doesn't make it any less painful for people who wanted a real adaptation.

In any case, what happened for Kanon in 2006 will not happen for Rewrite in the future. This is a fact. If you wish to curse something, curse your existence for being born in the timeline where Rewrite was adapted as a low budget advertisement for a lackluster remaster of the VN. Kyoani will not save you.
