Cool, I'm glad people feel the added content appropriately qualifies for the DC label, but my initial point was simply that Sony certainly didn't feel adding PS5 features to target the new platform didn't disqualify them from using the label.
As for the new games, I would be surprised if they were straight ports. I would expect them to want a new feature, storyline, or enemy type to use in marketing as they resell it to the same audience that bought it the first time. For any AAA project there are a lot of scrapped ideas along the.way so it would be easy to find something.
I guess I’m confused then. They didn’t add features. Higher frame rates and resolutions aren’t new features, they’re just free additions that developers get from updated build processes. There’s no reason why those would “disqualify” them.
As for the other stuff, I don’t think the people who have already played these games are the target, as you suggest. Remasters are typically for people that didn’t play the original or missed it on its original system. Remakes are usually for existing players who want an updated experience.
