True, but I don't see a point in remastering many of the older titles. Even Super Mario Galaxy would still look rather bad on the Switch unless given some brand new assets, upscaling the textures just ain't enough for pre-Wii U titles without an unique art style like Wind Waker.

What I'm saying is that Mario Bros 1 - 3 did get new assets.  It wasn't just upscaled textures.   If a new Mario collection that the same treatment as Mario All Stars did, then even the Galaxy series would get new assets.

Getting new assets was pretty easy 30 years ago, but these days that would be much more time consuming and barely worth the effort as all in all it costs almost as much as simply making new game. There's a reason why that is almost never done.

Then again, Mario is so popular that Nintendo could pull it off.
