Hey Luke!
I think most people really don't know what they really want; they underestimate how different they want new games to be and they misjudge what made them like games in the first place. I think when people want you to do a sequel, they don't realize that they just want something just as weird and fun, but entirely different. It's easy to say you want a sequel, because what else can you say? They won't know what a new game would even be about, because if they could, would it still be weird and surprising?
I'm excited to see what you come up with, best of luck! :)
