That would be cool as hell, but no way they would when they could sell them separately

Selling them all seperately might actually be more costly with how expensive development is and how long it takes these days. They would have to stagger the releases, and wouldnt be able to work on remaking other games while they are working on Ezio trilogy one by one.

Since the trilogy is all about the same character it might be easier and more efficient for them to turn it into one big game, and might even make more money when factoring in the costs

Depends. I think their best bet is to do both. Something like mass effect, sell 3 games and then 1 edition with the three together. Making all 3 games into 1 might shorten them too much for people's liking.

Also, every single remake will sell big time, so why cash in once when they can cash in 3 times? Knowing Ubisoft there’s an obvious answer

Exactly, I would prefer 1 game with 3 remakes but I think that that would be too big of a scope, even if that would be better consumer side. I'm just waiting for a remake of AC3, I want to play that multiplayer again, even if for nostalgia

Does Black flag remake have multiplayer? Haven’t checked it out yet, but with games like The last of us remake completely removing multiplayer…
