How do I play pong? The arrow keys control one paddle. How to move the other?

For two players, you'll want to connect controllers.

For Pong, no -- the original arcade game was built for two human players only.

Why won't game developers let us remap the controls? Is it really that hard to implement?

I cannot speak for all developers and have no insight on why some other projects allow players to remap controls and others do not. I have to assume there are different factors for different titles that might make it harder to implement.

I thought we made Atari 50's remap system fairly easy and flexible, though.

Most PC players don't have gamepads. They've long since gotten used to playing together, or even three, on one keyboard.
The release of the original Pong game itself is incredibly cool! But the problem is that the gamepad has always been exotic for most PC players. My friends and I even play fighting games on keyboards.
