How did The Rolling Stones allow 5o songs that could have been released as a box set for collectors escape?

OK, I admit it. I am befuddled.

How did The Rolling Stones allow 5o songs that could have been released as a box set for collectors escape? Heck, it could have been pared down to 20 songs a a kick-ass double album TATTOO YOU TWO, TATTOO TOO, SUCKING IN THE CENTURY. Or simply reworked as a single amazing fantastic fun album with 12 or 13 cuts (Please don't make me choose!)
And then Sir Mick Jagger releases to the world a pretty terrific song on YouTube which I cannot buy! I am old-school. I do not subscribe to Spotify or Apple. I buy my music. I cannot buy Easy Sleazy.
This is a marketing mystery.
Any explanations?

Youtube video to audio converter. It's no different than just playing it on YouTube over and over again with one exception - no commercials.

Because these songs are all far below the quality standard of what’s worth being officially issued.

'All far below...' I don't agree. Not by some distance. These are perfectly good numbers and entirely worthy of official commercial release. I very much hope that further material of a similarly good standard also finds its way on to the market. Even at the steep prices charged I am happy to pay every penny...

The only explanation that I can come up with is that had Jagger released the song on itunes, maybe some embarrassingly low number of sales would have hurt his brand. I cannot cost too much to make a song available for sales in itunes, can it?

To me these numbers are amazing, that physical purchases so much bigger than digital downloads.

Really? I don't see any sense in digital downloads because they cost nearly as much as physical releases. Streaming is a very cheap opportunity. We pay 15€ a month for a Family Account (6 accounts) for Spotify. That's really cheap and I don't see any advantage in Downloads. Spotify is easier to use on my HiFi and in my car. Today you get most super Deluxe Editions on Spotify that really cost too much on physical releases like the new Who Sell Out or other expensive Box Sets.
