Since RDR2 is a prequel, I wonder how many people out there played through 2's story, and then just wanted to see the grim, slow turnout to the story of that gang. It IS kinda surprising it was never available on PS4 - a lot of PS360 games got "silent ports" that just never got much advertising.
Apparently the PS3 version was a huge mess, which lends itself to the fact that it never made it to PS4. I do wonder though, how they went about remastering this version. Will be really interesting to see a breakdown from Digital Foundry once it's available.
They're probably using the 360's codebase as the basis for these ports. This is quite common for ports of games from that generation, as it is much more difficult to port PS3 code than PC or 360 code.
