The raw programming needed to make a game is a small part of development

there was no level design done, barely any, UX, no character/scenario creation, they even reused parts of the old translation

In general game development is a lot more difficult/complicated than people from the outside seem to give it credit for, so I take issue with calling a clearly polished and well-made game lazy, regardless of if it's a 1:1 remake.

They could've perhaps chosen a lesser price for it like the Crash and Spyro remakes, but 1:1 remakes that basically just end up being prettier versions of the old games have a place in the industry.
