The screenshot I saw didn't show an album artist at the top of the album info
page. I'll fire up latest 7.6 and try various test scenarios.

I agree that the data model seems to have unnecessary content, but it was
probably done to enhance performance?
If anything, I'd say it would be clearer to remove "Artist", and leave "Album
Artist" and "Track Artist" roles.
Display Album Artist for anything relating to an album (eg. "<Album> by <Album
Artists>"), and display Track Artists for anything relating to tracks ("<Track
Title>" by <Track Artists>).
Rather than confusion about when to use Artist roles.
