If the offerings don't interest you, ignore them. The Steam re-releases aren't killing babies or clubbing seals or something, they're simply passively existing, available for anyone to purchase. Again, how is this bad?

It's not so much that it's a bad idea, but that they hyped it saying it was going to be "something new and awesome for old fans."
This is awesome for people who haven't played the games. People who have not played the games cannot be "old fans."
Sure, it's awesome for old fans who haven't played the games in awhile or no longer have them, and now they can buy them again, but just because there's a way to acquire them other than hunting them down on eBay or where have you, that doesn't exactly make it "new."
Sure, the next list of games might be
awesomer, but I was really expecting some sort of new content here. Maybe not as "new" as the MI:SE, but... something!
Again, I see the misstep here on there part mostly be in how they hyped it. This is the Star Wars films being sold in a new collector's tin boxed set. Yeah, it's great if you don't have them, but if you do, what do you get? A tin box.
We're not even getting a tin box!
