For TNG - the special effects were composited for video - specifically NTSC resolution. They would have to re-create or re-composite all of the special effects (of which there are MANY) in order to create an HD master.

Not to mention going back to the original film elements (if they are still around) and cleaning them up as well. When this show was on the air, the final episodes were stored on NTSC video masters, which is how they exist today.

It's one hell of an undertaking, in terms of cost and man-hours.
