Tidal - why only remastered versions?


I am frustrated that when I listen via Tidal that only the remastered version of a cd can be found. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a copyright issue?  I often find the remaster to be worse than the original - particularly as digital gets better. 

Thanks.

I tried streaming with both Tidal and Qobuz. My objection
was -They very often did not have rights to the one (best) 
album I was interested in. 
From a business perspective I know these companies want to
make an impression with how many artists they offer and apparently
one way is by not obtaining the rights to the best stuff they can lower
the acquisition cost. My theory anyway.
The fact that my service was down more often than up and the forum
you are referred to when customer service is required is a multi day 
process made me decide to cancel and wait for the big boys to do hi-res.
Then sign up with a professionally run organization. Amazon???
