If the remake was actually respectful of the original source material and intent, it would be fine.
These aren't remakes though, they are demakes. They outright degrade the source material in multiple ways, and as such should be treated with scorn.
In theory a remake is an easy way to make some money and get a new generation who won't be willing to play games with badly outdated graphics into a game or series. You have a script, voice lines, map and model concepts, quests, everything, already completed. The amount of work that's necessary is likely massively reduced and even moreso if you have a more recent game you can use as a framework.
You can remake a game 1:1 with better graphics and people would be super excited. Add some new side content that fits well with the existing story, even better. Yet somehow these devs just can't help themselves to make stupid changes.
