I can see why Billy was hurt. I can also see that FM wanted someone with a bit of pop relevance. I'm not sure Neil was the best choice, though he acquitted himself well.
For what it's worth, in 1987, Billy was hired over Welch returning. Welch said in his Q&A that he asked to rejoin when Lindsey left, but he never got a response. FM must have thought about Bob in 87 what they thought of Billy in 2018: best not to move backward...
