Many greatest hits & compilation albums have exclusive new tracks or alternate versions/mixes of other songs not included on studio albums

Without them we would've never gotten stuff like Bjork's It's In Our Hands.
Plebs listen to compilations to hear the big hits, hipsters avoid compilations entirely, true patricians actively seek compilations because they know they can get rare and interesting extra tracks that aren't contained anywhere else.
The same goes for remasters and re-releases that often cotnain extra shit, too.
You know you really love an artist when you go out of your way to find all his most obscure gems.

Didn't Steven Wilson release a greatest hits album a year ago

This.
Old rock'n'roll is the true genre where only greatest hits are worth listening to. Albums were often garbage and repetitive
