It's the pinnacle of laziness and greed and in Bethesda's case that was cemented by their decision to remove vanilla Skyrim from the Steam store when they released SE.

It is part of a wider trend of crap, lazy remasters that smack of developers trying to jump on and monetize the 'overhaul' bandwagon modders have been pushing for years and turning out to be drastically incompetent at overhauls compared to the modders. They reduced the FOV, upgraded the textures, lighting and particle effects slightly, added god rays, and it somehow tanked performance relative to what mods could achieve on the vanilla game with similar or better visual improvements. My personal take on this, having played both, is that SE is a pile of poo.
