Eagles and Tupac's best selling albums are greatest hits. Shouldn't Kpop companies exploit groups and do this?
Why are there no greatest hits/best of albums in Kpop?

It's very common in Japan. Groups who have been highly successful in Japan like TVXQ, SNSD, Shinee, BigBang, and BTS have all done Greatest Hits albums in Japan. Super Junior sort of did one with their last Japanese album as it had been several years since they had a Japanese comeback, they included all of their Korean comebacks from that gap on it. Even Stray Kids have used the need to rerecord their early discography to release sort of Greatest Hits albums in Japan.
I would assume the fact that Japan just fucking loves physical media is part of the reason. It's also why you'll see a group release 4 separate singles on CD over the course of several months and then release an mini album that contains those exact same songs again.
Korean has been much more streaming based. Most albums are bought by major fans and even then repackaged Korean albums rarely sell as well as the original edition. I would assume that's partially a factor in the reasoning to not make them. It would just be fans buying them versus psychical media collectors in Japan.

Nowadays even the western artists rarely release greatest album anymore, cause it will only be bought by hardcore fans. A greatest album is literally the top playlist on spotify - what's the point?
Unless u do it like Mamamoo where u revamp the songs but it doesnt feel like greatest hits album in that way
