Thanks, @rgilmiyarov for reporting this issue.

The issue isn't a bug for the molecule.
Please see: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html?highlight=ansible_user#variable-precedence-where-should-i-put-a-variable

If you want to overwrite the ansible_user variable, for example, please use the vars directive, not remote_user.

You can also override as a normal variable in a play:

- hosts: all
  vars:
    ansible_user: lola
  tasks:
    - command: I'll connect as lola!

Does this answer your question?
