I find 10$ a very decent value, far from greedy to be honest. This is not the same as TLOU part 1 where you had to pay full price even if you already had a previous version.
It's 10 extra dollars for a game you already own which is why it's greedy.
You are still able to play the PS4 version on your PS5, so no you're not paying 10 dollars for a game you already own.
You're paying 10 dollars for Dualsense rumble support, extra roguelike mode and lots of other PS5 specific updates like support for fast loading.
The tech difference between the PS4 and PS5 is massive.
It genuinely can be a complete overhaul, more than just graphically. Also worth noting is that the $10 cost is just the difference in pricing from last gen, and doing split gen like that has let them keep the PS4 versions the same pricing without making them rebuy games when they get a new console. They just make up the difference.
I don't and won't buy a lot of full priced games because I can wait, but their approach really isn't that bad.
I have trouble reconciling that with the PC market, where the same version of a game I bought 4 years ago would be able to run at better resolutions and frame rates the next time I get a new machine. From where I sit, it does just appear to be worse value in the console space.
PC would just not offer the discounted last gen version.
And also can't do either the seamless loading (or the controller features unless it's hard wired) that are the defining features.
Gotta double-dip for more profit.
At least it seems decent. I'm a fan of Rune Factory franchise but can't fathom the latest Rune Factory 3 Special, which is an AI upscaled of the original on NDS

These remasters after only a few years are wild.
I think the term you're looking for is "greedy"
