Yeah, I love The Last of Us, but it didn't really feel like it needed a remake either. It isn't enough of a difference to be worth buying for someone who already has the original version (especially not at that price tag). And IIRC, they didn't even give the remake the same improved combat system from the second game.

I guess the upside is that a new generation of gamers just starting each series can have an improved experience and I really am happy for them because Black Flag and The Last of Us are amazing, must play games. But I personally sure would prefer development be focused on new games.

And also making sure games are always gonna be on PC, because that's the platform that ages the best. Eventually, consoles seem to drop backwards compatibility and older consoles become difficult to get, but PC always works and generally ages best. Thankfully all AC games are on PC already and it seems Sony is now in the habit of pushing for PC releases after a delay.
