I'm not sure why the hate for remastered games. Why do publishers keep releasing them? Because people buy them. Why do people buy them? because they want them.
People act like remastereds are made to rob us of our money but it requires somebody wanting the game and them willingly handing over their money.
As for the "focus on new games" argument. Most of the time, the work is outsourced to a 3rd party developer or to a small developing team they own and is usually a small team specifically put together for remakes.
If the team do handle the remaster themselves, it's relatively a small task and uses minimal resources. And if they can generate more money and help studios expand or survive, it's another plus.

I never said it waste of money, but this is next gen. They are so focused on remastereds that its taking away from new entrees which could be invested to widen the interest. Instead they are trying to lure people to old franchises which will already have the capacity to sell consoles themselves. I mean the only two remastereds that ive enjoyed are Halo and Last of us but beyond that its a bit much.

I really do not know what people expect. Sony has released a lot of game already, several new IPs and several new IPs are in the works and Uncharted 4 is a stones throw away.
To me there isn't a sign that they are misusing resources. But hey, there's usualy a bandwagon to blindly hate on something, why not jump onto the "Remasters are evil" bandwagon.
And how exactly do they "lure" people to buy their games? With a trail of sweets to the PS4 games stand?!?!
