These discussion always go off on a tangent, making things seem much
more complicated than they really are. It's little wonder that
developers have thrown up their hands in the past.

No reason, but traditionally there seems to be huge resistance to adding
main menu items. I just don't think there's a big call for a Browse
Compilations. If you tag a compilation with an album artist, you would
expect to find that album under that artist. Why are compilations such a
special case that you need to have a direct link to all of them in your
library? They typically have nothing in common apart from being
comprised of a mix of artists.
