Remember that these versions sell way more than the CD onlys and they are what keeping Japan the 2nd biggest music markets. They also give multiple versions choices for each album/single, that's probably why.
I myself would like to see full versions there though.

I don't think it would hurt sales at all. I even think the opposite would be the case. Personally I never bother to watch short ver. of PVs. I don't check an artist out if I can't watch full versions and I would never buy a CD+DVD version when I don't know what the whole product will be like.
And for comparison because he is also under avex: Acid Blach Cherry's latest album is charting for 7 weeks now and has sold 138,345 by now. He has full ver. of his PVs on his official youtube channel. His sales are pretty great compared to others and Ayu could just dream of selling more than 100k of an album anymore.
