Just different “versions” I think. No official name for it. I think one of the reasons for it is streaming and billboard charts. Getting more streams and sales by sharing the guest’s fanbase so both artists benefit. I think some type of versions also count as the same as the original song in billboard charts, so it allows artists to game the system and rise to the top in terms of sales.

Ive always called them collaborations, or “collabs”. Not sure of thats the official term for it or not.
