I think from a pure "listening" perspective, the argument is becoming more limited as companies start to acquire and utilize talent to match or exceed the quality of these original pressings and match the artwork/sleeve quality/etc. These companies seem to be "getting it" and dedicating the right resources to doing it well.
With that said, there are still a lot of records in all genres not getting re-pressings due to demand or getting pressed poorly compared to the original or ones where you can still get VG+ or better on at a lower cost, especially in non-jazz realms. Like, I have a small collection of Ruth Brown LPs. BAM/Charles on 2nd put out a reissue of one of her records from the late 60's recently, and I'm sure it's great, but the original is cheaper, has high quality packaging, and sounds great. This is true of a slew of 70s and 80s rock albums that still sound perfectly great and are cheap with more expensive re-pressings out there.
This may be different in the audiophile realm to be fair. I think of something like Elton John's GYBR. The recent reissue from 2014 or so are $25-35 and well regarded. You can regularly find used copies, early represses mostly, in the $15-$20 realm (I finally pulled the trigger on one for $8 that sounds fine). This feels like a different realm than audiophile version where a Speakers Corner or MoFi GYBR will set you back well into the three digits.
