Why Virtua Fighter 2 and not 4?

I clearly recall In Kiwami 1 the arcades were fully stocked with VF4 units, although they weren't playable. Was VF4 such a bad game that they swapped every unit for a Model 2 game that everyone already played on the Sega Saturn 10 years ago? If emulation is the issue, why couldn't they just keep a dummy VF4 cabinet in place of the VF2 "easy mode" (which is decidedly NOT easy, and is actually harder than Normal) and only have Kiryu play VF2 since that's probably the one he remembers before going to prison?

Also I don't know if it's the arcade version or just a high framerate glitch but VF2 is stupid hard, like it's basically unbeatable. The AI has inhuman reflexes that counters your every move, unless the AI happens to be attacking at the same time and vulnerable to your strike. The only way you can win stages 4 and up is basically by accident.

because they don't want to do a full PC port of the VF games, enough to make breaking continuity worth it.

I mean, 6 has VF5. the ONLY PC version of VF5.
