There are a few reasons avex isn't doing this anymore.
1) They know the remixes get ayu alot of attention, but it's extra attention that's unneeded and not worth the money it takes to produce remix albums. It pleases the fans, yes, but that doesn't change how much income avex gets. The fans already buy everything (as they've proven through releasing multiple versions of singles & albums... all the suckers --and yes, you know who you are, you're suckers for it, pardon my saying so-- are still buying them. No point in making you happy with remix albums if you're already giving avex all that money, and singles are much cheaper to produce).
2) Remix albums cost ALOT to make, since each individual remixer needs to be commissioned & paid for the work. Again, no point in doing it since avex doesn't make enough of a return off that investment.
3) They don't want MORE attention & focus on ayu; having one artist as your principal source of revenue is very dangerous, since a backlash against that artist would result in the collapse of your label. So they're putting the emphasis on other Avex artists.
