Situations where there actually was something wrong with the originals
aside, I have never really understood the point of remasters.  In most
cases, I would prefer to hear what it sounded like originally vs. whatever
someone with a computer has done to supposedly improve it.

They used to release "bonus track" versions without remastering.  Why not
just keep doing that.
