It's still lazy to just re-release last gen's games instead of making new content and it's still greedy to charge full price for them. Most consumers are just too stupid to know when they're being ripped off.

Is it lazy to rerelease old movies onto Blu-Ray for full price with no new content instead of making brand new movies?

Also, it's not instead of, it's in addition to. Nintendo porting Mario Kart 8 to Switch allowed that team to make a new IP in ARMS, porting NSMBU allowed that team to make Mario Maker 2

Same goes for other publishers. Porting old entries in Mega Man, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, etc did not prevent Capcom from releasing games like Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 7, Devil May Cry, etc.

Releasing previous gen games on a current platform let's people replay games they enjoy or play games that they are interested in but never had the chance to play.

It's still diverting manpower away from the creation of fresh new content though. A company ultimately only has so many employees and studios.
