It's "faithful" in the wrong ways, rather than attempting to find a way to make it look good with a different style, or retaining the old style, it creates an ugly half-assed mix of new and old. There are certain limitations older hardware, and certain artstyles, impose. These limitations impact game design, art design, etc; the proportions of the artstyle are an example of these sorts of limitations. The proportions work with their intended artstyle because they are part of it - a product of it. Taking those exact proportions and using them for a completely different artstyle just looks ugly and lazy. They're mindlessly copying the limitations without understanding why they were there to begin with or what purpose they served - it's just mindlessly tracing the work without understanding why it works.

BDSP were endlessly mocked for being "faithful" remakes to the point of serving 0 purpose, because they're just straight up worse than the game they're trying to remake; they're just a much, much buggier DP with an atrocious artstyle, and without any of the improvements people loved about Platinum.
