If it was shot on film, all you have to do is a new scan, some colour correction and you’ve got something good. I have a blu ray version of the original Star Trek and it looks fantastic (except for when you see the obvious makeup, of course). But I guess for that you have to hire actually skilled people who want *gasp* money. Better just feed it to some slop machine for pennies.
A Different World is known by many as “black Friends” or “Friends before Friends”, so maybe Netflix wanted a whiff of the hype that Warner Bros. got when they upscaled Friends to 4K

Assuming the original film still exists
But remastering costs money, mkay?
Even AI costs money.

Could’ve just streamed the DVD version too if they didn’t want to go through that much effort.
