The same reason there are ports of seventh gen games with higher system requirements than 8th gen titles, and why half of all high profile PC ports these days are broken beyond belief while the console versions run fine on vastly inferior hardware. Depending on who's in charge, some developers/publishers are just lazy and don't give a crap about optimization and proper porting, so they just shove it onto Steam and hope no one will notice/care.

Although in Square Enix's case I think they simply don't know how to do it properly. Not one FF game has a good, well optimized PC port. Even back when FFVII and FFVIII first got their PC ports all those years ago, they were known for being terrible. Even the PC ports of FFXIII and FFXIII-2 are notoriously poor.
