This is true, but there's merit in preserving the original form of the product for historic purposes.

Doing a remaster is creating a new product, which would not classify as abandonware to me.

I agree, I'm not saying companies should legally prevent consumers from playing old games. These games are twenty years old and companies should not try to squeeze every cent from the IP they have practically abandoned.
