The host doesn't pick the remaining door, he opens it. He reveals a
goat/donkey whatever. That means the two contestants have door each,
one of which has a car behind it.

ONLY if it is not behind the one the host already opened. Since he no longer
has a choice of doors, he must have a 1/3 chance of showing the car.

They now each have 50/50 odds. There
is nothing in this scenario that puts one contestant's odds higher
than the other since they both picked a door each at the start.

Right, where did I say otherwise, IF the host has not already shown the car?
The whole point is that the game is now no longer like the Monty Hall
scenario in any way.
