What does she get owning those, vs having the re-recorded ones? Is it just purely symbolic?

I think it's mostly control of any derivative work. Whoever owned the masters could produce derivative work without her consent.

She earns money from licensing. The music is listened to every day.

It's just like when Michael Jackson purchased The Beatles' entire catalog in 1985.
