Again, look at it with 100 doors...99 goats and 1 car.

You get to pick one door. The chances of picking the car are 1/100.

They open the other 98. You can either stick with your original choice or switch to the one remaining door.

Your original choice still has a 1/100 chance of being the car. Agreed?

The chances of the one other remaining door having the car...99/100?

Just because you have two choices doesn't make it a 50/50 proposition.
