Why not copy the greats- vinyl LP question

When LP's are reissued, why are some of the great interpretations of classic music not just copied?  For example Led Zeppelin II- I would love the RL-"hot" mix but cant swing $500+ for a less than optimal copy.  Why is there not someone looking into recreating  products like these?

I guess take your chances with Ebay.

There are places where people post hi res digitizing of classic LP's. In reading the notes, They seem to be decent analog rigs but not very high end.

Might be fun for a listen but I'm of the belief I want my analog to a stay analog and if I'm going to to listen to digital it should a legit hi res release be from the master tapes, without the inherent LP flaws.
