No “better” port can be legally distributed with original EA assets. APK/data files often contain copyrighted .vp6 videos, .fsb audio, and .bin car models. For a port to be truly “better” and legitimate, it would require a clean-room engine reimplementation (e.g., OpenMW for Morrowind) plus user-supplied original files. No such project exists for MW2005.
