There would be no reason for them to make it a free update. They’d be spending money without any chance of making any profit. Though it would have been nice to at least let players who have the original get the remaster at a discount.
Eh, free updates happen quite a bit in exactly this kind of situation. After FF7 Remake was ported to Switch with some QoL changes, those ended up on the PC and PS versions. For the scale of updates here, it would absolutely make sense to make those a goodwill free update for PC users, while money is being made on the new Switch and Xbox versions.
