I don't know if Avex expected Ayu to last much longer than your average idol, and they probably wanted to cash in on her one last time for certain. Ayu definitely didn't want to die out after only 3 albums, so probably saw the pressure for a hits album as a lack of faith in her to make a lasting cultural impact. I don't think they were trying to end her career, but wanted to be sure they could get as much money from her as possible before it did end.
Hmm.. yeah you do have a point here. They might have done that.
