I don't know how Friends or Seinfeld were edited. But even if it were done on tape, spending a few millions of dollars for remastering them might have been worth it. They are much more popular, and definitely would be bringing in much more sales volumes. Their rerun rights also would be sold at a higher price. I doubt a case can be made to spend so much for a series like Frasier.
It's more likely CBS is waiting for the new seasons to premier and get the interest levels higher, or they're waiting for 8k remastering machines to come down in price or whatever. (Or they're just morons.)
Actually, come to think of it I heard similar reasons given for why Star Trek: The Next Generation wasn't going to be remastered eons ago. (With the added issue of tape-only exterior shots and other issues unique to that show.) But they eventually did it, and I'm pretty sure they made more than enough profit off of it.
I didn't know what Repulbicans were at the time . . .

Had been waiting for years for a sale on the Frasier set. My favorite series. I already had it on DVD but wanted a digital version. Digital streaming was not yet a thing when I had bought the physical set. Eventually when we got spoiled by instant find and play, I started getting tired of fishing out the DVDs, and trying to remember which episode I had watched last.
Unfortunately, Frasier never ever went on sale. Most seasons were always at $15 or $20 each. Having already spent on the physical version, I couldn't get myself to buy them all digitally at full retail. I believe it's only 6 months ago or so did they finally have a digital box set available for purchase. Earlier, you could only buy each season individually.
Anyway, finally I gave up and painstakingly ripped all my 11 season DVD set and loaded it up on my Plex server. Took me days but it was worth it.
I will still buy it digitally at this price, but hoping it goes on sale on iTunes as well. Almost all of my digital purchases are there (except for Blu-ray series that only came with Vudu code). So might as well hold out. Now that one place has it finally on sale, it'll show up at the same price at other digital storefronts eventually.

The humor and heart still hold up.
Going to buy off iTunes so I do not have to do with adverts on the streams or the risky aspect ratios crops.
Thanks OP. A toast of Sherry to you!
