Then who the fuck is it made for if not fans of Blade Runner?

There is no such thing as a "reboot for the original audience"...
The original audience watches the original movie.

Reboots are a corporate tactic to milk a property on the cheap and target it to zoomers and millennials.
The whole concept of rebooting is to erase aspects of the original that young faggot audiences wouldn't tolerate.

They don't do this for you, they do it for the children you're supposed to have by now.
Targeting fans of the original would come in the form of a remaster / re-release of the actual movie.

I wonder if in about 10 or so years if there's going to be backlash from all the younger millennials and older zoomers because all their content is just repackaging of the previous generations' original ideas. People who saw Blade Runner and loved it get to enjoy that and it's part of their generation but anyone younger has been getting watered-down reprocessed sanitized shit for years now.

It's both, really. They ideally want a product that appeals to everyone, and that results in making crap that appeals to no one.

There's a reason movies and series being trainwrecks production- and box office-wise has become the norm, and it's because of design by committee. There are so many different parties involved in making a Hollywood film and they're all pulling in different directions. There's the chairmen and stockholders who are neurotically chasing trends, embedded SJW true believers and HR who agitate for ideologically conformity, directors and writers who are often fiercely autonomous, marketing research which pays way too much attention to places like Twitter, and so on.

So they go for existing properties because they're safe, specifically nostalgiabait from the 80s because aging Millenials are the most vocal bloc of consoomers, and then stuff it with woke shit they've been told is popular because of surveys of online echochambers. The movie is a Frankenstein from the start and it's just in the planning phase, all things can go wrong during the execution. Directors are given too much leeway or they get shitcanned and replaced with someone who has to salvage the mess and meet the studio's unreasonable time constraints. Hours of footage end up on the cutting room floor as editors scramble to create something vaguely coherent.

There's nothing calculated about it, in fact it's nearly always a series of miscalculations. Zoomers don't give a shit about Ghostbusters and Star Trek, they like Stranger Things and Black Mirror. Shoehorning wokery and forced edginess into 40-year-old properties isn't going to make them flock to your shitty movie, but it will enrage the Millenial neckbeards who would've. Hence why nearly every schizophrenic nostalgiabait movie has been a flop, and things that weren't afraid to pick a vision and stick to it have been successful.
