I agree with you OP. No one would have ever gived a damn if all he did was some non-intrusive, seamless FX updates and corrections. No one cares that they did that to the original Star Trek series. Granted, that’s partly because they still made the originals available, but no one really complains about the quality of the updated versions either. Because they were done faithfully to the intent of the originals without trying to fundamentally alter the content or story and without instantly dated shots that do nothing but distract the viewer and mess with their brain because they’re seeing stuff that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the stuff on the screen at all.
