The media industries give us what we (the public generally) want.
If people stopped going to see remakes...
If people stopped buying shit recods...
If people stopped buying tickets to see Take That...

true
but the public want what the public get, by and large. Entertainment corporations could drag them off in some other direction if they so choose.
I suppose remaking is the cheaper, financially safer option.
