Perhaps it affects the perspective of the console belonging to those who think the library is lacking in new experiences. Chances are that the person has already played this game and so, is not interest in this game. Thus, it's underwhelming that the big summer release is only, potentially a remaster.
From the business side, it's not a bad thing. The remaster will sell and it's sure to have a higher profit margin compared to a new game built from the ground up with similar sales. Also, the remasters are targeted to those who would be interested in them, given reasons such as never having played them, they are collectors, or they no longer have access to them.
However, it's not a situation where one can simply say, "well if you are not interested in the remaster, then don't buy it and move along" since it may affect the subject in the sense that the provider is not offering a new experience in favor of said remaster(s). Thus, in the business sense it is not a bad idea and for the gamer it depends where you stand. If we are to weigh this, then remasters are perhaps generally a good thing.
