I'm sure the reasons are numerous, and there are far more knowledgeable folks on the subject than me, but I've been told part of the issue is how the album is recorded. Older records used analog tape, whereas a good number of modern recordings are digital. I gotta imagine this impacts the transfer to vinyl.
Unfortunately the you-get-what-you-pay-for axiom is never more true than with new vinyl. The good stuff uses original tapes, analog mastering, quality materials and pressing, etc., etc., and that is certainly reflected in the price. There are also many lower tier companies that essentially record a CD with indifferent mastering and shoddy pressing to take advantage of all the recent turntable sales. Most actual new releases I've bought have been very good over the last few years, but in the early 00's it seemed more of a crapshoot. Most of the reissues I buy are a bit higher up the food chain and I have very few problems. If there are flaws I send 'em back.
If you want to wallow in some vinyl geekery, the best place is over at the Steve Hoffman music forum: https://www.stevehoffman.tv/ There are always threads about new releases with endless discussions of who mastered it, where, etc.
But yes, an old original pressing will usually (but not always) beat the reissue, which is why they're fetching ever more ridiculous money.

I cannot see, hear, or think about this record without my olfactory memories being flooded with raspberry scent from that scratch 'n' sniff sticker. I remember when it filled every record department of every store in the spring of '72.
