Psychologically it's probably easier for a buyer to drop $40 for 2 records as opposed to 1. The companies selling the remasters know this.
I'd wager that if you compared 50 original pressings to their 45RPM remastered counterparts, more than 80% of the originals would be preferred. I have 3 dozen reissues and some of them are very good but based on the dollars spent, I'm sorry I invested in them.
It's still about sales dollars and profits not quality.
