Whether they are just doing the actual “mastering” over again on the final print or going deeper into the mix (working on each instrumental track separately, like the voice or guitars separately), what remastered almost always means is “we have changed the sonic qualities of the track to sound more commercial today”.

Like, literally, if you want to understand what it is, it’s a commercial decision to re-release the song with a more current sounding studio work done on top. It’s not to make it “better” or “cleaner” or whatever. It is always to make it match the current industry’s “sound”. This is why they will keep remastering the same old songs to match the new-new eras.
