Why would they reimplement the game logic if they've decompiled the game code? I genuinely do not understand!

Sorry, the "re-implemented" wording might have been a bit strong in my last comment.

Take a look at this recent pull request into the TP decompilation repo: https://github.com/zeldaret/tp/pull/3155/changes

The changes are often symbol renames, casts, replacing hard-coded values with enum values, etc...The idea is to map the decompiled output to human-readable source.
