I have no idea what you’re on about. The intention of making the song doesn’t matter. So the artist wants more money by releasing remixes of their popular songs. Whether it’s for more money, extra tracks for the fans or bringing in friends or other artists to collaborate. What they are doing is releasing a remix.

I feel like you’re too hung up on the “why” and ignoring the “what”. Just because someone recently noticed it was happening, doesn’t make it new or something different.

If you take tracks from a song and add/remove/re-arrange it into a new release. It’s a remix.

Remix - To recombine (audio tracks or channels from a recording) to produce a new or modified audio recording.

E: I’ll meet you half way. If someone coins a term for releasing remixes solely for profit, then we can call it that. But it’s still a remix.
