There's just one big difference. Those are one-time purchase, moddable games. The community makes those maps, just like they did for Grand Bazaar or Ziba Tower in portal. Community maps are completely fine, no complaints there.
What people are asking for here, is recycled content that's produced by Battlefield Studios as part of their live service model.
What that effectively means is that for every old map they need to remake, they'd have to skip on creating a new map. There's only a limited amount of manpower after all.
That doesn't mean that they should never rework a map, because some maps are certainly worth revisiting. However, this idea that we must have recycled maps is what creates these situations where developers feel like they must add a map like Nuketown or Operation Metro to every single one of their games.
