Artist > Albums should should ANY album that the artist appears on.
AlbumArtist > Albums should only show Albums by that artist
This is much more in line with how the Artist and Album Artist tags are being used to manage compilation albums.
I do agree that it's very annoying to have all sorts of compilation albums showing up when you choose Artist > Albums, but it's technically more correct to do so. Also, my own dislike of seeing mixed artist compilations showing up here may not be disliked by others, Some really do want to see every album that artist appeared on.
As I said AlbumArtist > Albums would be the right way to view dedicated albums for that artist and it probably should be one of the built in views in stock Kodi.
I think by offering both views (Artist > Albums, AlbumArtist > Albums) the user has a choice and can get either mode of operation.
