Are her collabs really better than her solos?

They’re more…accessible?  Appealing to and easily digested by the masses.

She never properly pushed a solo single between MR and Abracadabra. ARUTW worked on its own thanks to ASIB, SL had that one piano live and it wasn't the best lead single lmao, Disease got nothing except those two stripped down versions. Meanwhile her duets have the combined forces of fanbases.

It honestly could be that the GP isn’t super into undiluted Gaga, so they like having someone to kind of balance out her more eccentric tendencies? 

Gaga's just not part of the cool kids club. Never was. Too weird, too ugly (on purpose), too artistic, too unconventional, too gay, too eccentric-- essentially too talented and suffering from a case of actually having a unique vibe. 

They only latch on to her with she's with someone else because it gives them permission to actually like her/recognize her for once. It's so annoying.

Abracadabra should've stormed the world with #1s across the board-- but the GP will always be reticent to accept anything different, unique, or special made by Gaga. The past 5 years have been laid up with trash country music from racist artists, generic & sub-par Taylor Swift music, annoying tunes from white boys who cannot sing, and godforsaken TikTok music. The GP has completely lost the plot-- I don't blame Gaga for giving them stuff they can easily understand like ballads.

(And maybe throw VIY in there pleaseeee Gaga if you're reading this)

More mainstream is the term you're looking for.

These two comments hit the nail on the head.
