Depends what we mean by 'analogue masters'. If that means magnetic tape then its liable to wear, stretch, crinkle, etc and is decomposing all the time. Digitising that is a way to stop things getting worse as time passes.

Nevertheless, introducing a newly-made digital stage can't improve the fidelity, surely. Maybe in 50 years the tape will have deteriorated, but the digital remasters are taken from the tape as it is now. They already have the polished up digital rematers anyway, for the CD releases - so it's all preserved for the future.
