Why do people want him buffed/reworked again?

His play rate almost doubled, his win rate jumped up 2% and he is performing a lot better with the new masteries + items.

Why are people still demanding that he should be buffed?

Can we all just agree that win rate by itself isn't really a good measure of champion strength? And that with all the new changes to adcs some supports may be a bit stronger than they were while everything settles down and people figure out who has good synergy with the new ADCs and the new masteries/items, but that doesn't mean that they don't need changes to make them feel better/perform adequately when they aren't under ideal circumstances?

Just because a champion received a slight gameplay improvement with the recent preseason changes (cough Sona cough) doesn't mean those champions don't need alterations to their gameplay to make them feel less terrible to play.

Are you willing to give up Sona's toxic Q and W? Because that is what needs to happen if you want Sona to feel better to play. Because statistics do suggest she is in an acceptable place and it is extremely unlikely she will receive any significant changes until a real rework lands.

No one wants Taric buffed, we want him reworked... There is a large difference.

Taric's kit is not amazing. Its simple, which is nice, but its too simple... Point click stun, point click heal, Armor steroid. Like there is no substance to him and while that may have worked back when he was made, it does not work anymore. Doesn't mean he is too weak or too strong, his kit is just old and he deserves one as fabulous as he is. Besides he is only doing good right now because this meta is all AD right now, he gains a bonus from stacking armor... pretty simple to see why him, Rammus, and Malph are so good right now.

Taric is only doing well right now because his kit is perfect against AD champs which are being played so much right now because of the new changes. However just because he's doing well in a meta that's highly favorable for him does not mean that he doesn't need changes. People want a rework because his kit is plain, boring and doesn't add anything new to the game. Compare him to, Thresh, Braum, Tahm, Leona, Alistar. He's pretty 'meh' right?
