Some spells (and probably more content) are really looks like being removed from Remaster.

... we get a bazillion spells like “Thread Laces” and “Boop Snoots”.

Ooh, sorry, which book is Boop Snoots in? Is it on the Divine list? AoN doesn't seem to have it yet and like, my kitsune's dating a kobold and a ysoki and there's a bunch of pets around, it's a very target-rich environment.

Ach...Primal I think...makes sense...yairs...

I am of course referring to such as gems as remove paralysis, stone to flesh and remove curse, which if you didn't learn them and get paralyzed/petrified/cursed you're just screwed, and which have been folded into clear mind/sound body/sure footing in the remaster because getting that specific is absurd.

The problem was apocalyptically bad in PF 1e, coming as it was from 3.x (which in turn came from the nightmarish hodge podge of AD&D 2e). The spells I listed above ( protection from Small celestial badgers) basically existed in PF 1e. Things like antiplant shell or hide from undead were insanely niche, basically never used, and could be...

The relevant question here is, of course, if you are screwed if you encounter a small celestial badger on Tuesdays.

...When in an ideal world you could just say "this is the water manipulation spell" and have done, rather than needing to write different spells like create water, control water, pillar of water, geyser and so on.

Ok, got you. What does all this have to do with PF2 (remastered)? You almost exclusively talk about PF1 and dnd 3 or less.

Also, "this is the water manipulation spell" is exactly how things are done in more narrative and rules-light games. Up to "this a spell, tell us its effect". And it works. Yes, for this you need that all at a table intentionally work together, but it works. (Also there could be things like guidelines: N targets, area about X meters, duration about seconds or hours, 'use your spellcaster theme' and so on)
