Interesting thread, glad it was revived. It's 16 months old but still relevent with the ever-declining number of tracks on each Ayu single.
Even though including several remixes a single doesn't cost a great deal extra, Ayu is such an established artist Avex probably don't need to include remixes to encourage people to buy singles. The dedicated fans will buy them nonetheless, and they don't loose sales because only real fans buy singles these days anyway.
Also, not putting them on the singles makes people more likely to buy the remix albums.
Although the remixed music is not really my scene, because it's a familiar tune & voice I still love listening to the remixes, especially ayu-mi-x I.
I'd like to see more CD+Extra singles - where the Audio CD has a computer-readable area which includes (in particular) the single's PV.
