I think they didn't plan to release a greatest hits album at least in the beginning. Nevertheless this is obviously just my point of view and I could be wrong.

A "Best of" is what their record company wanted. Rob replied:

I understood it to be that Kraftwerk were supposed to release a conventional "best of" album after Electric Cafe, but Huetter decided that they should "get their hands dirty" rather than just re-releasing old songs.

Correct.

I think credit is due for that (if this is true).

Indeed. "The Mix" is not a shelf filler. A "Best Of" is. Cheers for that. E
