Because the anime is the anime and the games/manga are the games/manga. Yuu is only technically the canon protagonist of GE/B and the manga. Nowhere in GER is Yuu mentioned.

And besides, if you were a director at Ufotable, wouldn't YOU want to build a new character from the ground up so as not to be stuck with Yuu who is a generic (manga) blank slate player self-insert (games) with zero personality?
