Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Inspired by this post, asking the opposite, what games do you think are worthy of a remaster: https://lemmy.ml/post/6091201

That's almost never a thing with remakes. Counter-Strike 2 replacing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the one that would be most recent and is probably why you're saying this. If not, you're probably thinking of similar such soft relaunches after large updates (which arguably applies here, though the change is so substantial that they really shouldn't have outright replaced CS:GO).

That's a completely separate issue and should realistically have no bearing on whether or not remakes should be made. You should focus your anger at the true problem, which is that Games as a Service is fraud. Don't let them entangle your feelings on this such that you accept things like a remake replacing an original game as not only normal, but also an inevitability.

Jsyk you can still play GO by going to the available betas/releases in properties on steam. Totally agree that it should have been released separately, but with the skins being the way they are they would have had to port them somehow or the player base would have gone fucking insane.
