I came to agree with this. The original just has something that the remake doesn't, and I think that not every design change made the game more fun for me.

I think what it comes down to is that the original RE is so ambitious for the time, but at the same time the type of game it was hadn't really been done before. Because of that, there's a feeling of creativity and experimentation throughout the whole game as they explore what a survival horror might be. The remake is so deliberate and refined that it loses all the rough edges and surreal tone in favor of a more straightforward horror experience.

I would not argue that RE:Make is a superb game, but it never resonated with me personally the way RE1 did.
