REMIX is a bit different it extracts resources from the game so you could rework and replace them.
Additive only modding is arguably easy, however mods in which you extract and rework assets are more tricky since those assets are protected by their own copyright.
There could be cases in which the licensing agreement that covers those assets may not be compatible with modding since the license the publisher and developer have received is rather restrictive - speedtree generated assets come to mind as Autodesk(?) has or had a rather restrictive license on those, store bought art assets these days also probably have a non mod friendly license.
Then there is the whole thing around using trademark names in your sites and content.
Overall you want an approval especially for a large scale remaster mod.
And publishers/developers that may appear hostile to modders may actually have a valid reason rather than doing it just out of spite.
