I don't think there's bias agaist all remasters though. If it's a beloved old classic most people will jump at the opportunity to get it again and even pay full price happily. TLOZ Ocarina of time/Majoras Mask 3ds are good examples for that.
I think it's the remasters of one year old games like TLOU and Tomb Raider, both good games that people felt didn't really need a remaster yet, that probably feel like cash grabs. It feels like a devaluing of their original purchase, in line with Game of the Year editions, to them. What's the perk of being an early adopter if you're inherently paying more money for the inferior version of a product? Especially if the superior product rolls around within the next year? Of course they will want to play this superior version too, but full price for a game that they've just recently played is a steep asking price.
I think if there's not enough time spent between the original release and the remaster people tend to view it more negatively.
