The remaining doors are not random. The one you picked still has a 1/3 chance of winning, that doesn't change with opening another door. However switching doors is essentially the same as picking all the other doors at once, since the door with a goat is not opened, thus the 2/3.

Imagine the thing with 100 doors and imagine the host isn't opening any doors, but just telling you what's behind them and it becomes pretty obvious.
