Doesn’t that seem more interesting — if you’re a musician — than selling coffee or wine or electronic vests?

I had the same thought.
Seems the answer is that, outside of the FM context, Mick is more interested in 'get rich doing nothing' capers than nose-to-the-hihat music work. Hence he's added his name and likeness to nearly everything, from drum samples to fermented grape juice, from oversized scarfs to coffee beans. Of course, at his age and after his long career, it's certainly his prerogative to enjoy the Maui life rather than be a working musician in LA.
The Brit members of FM are now officially Steptoe and Son.
Anyone interested in new music can look only to Lindsey.
(And anyone interested in covers, cameos, and casino ads can look to Stevie.)
Music needs a muse, and Lindsey is apparently the only one of the five who still has one.
