The only positive things to come from those two albums were the songs:
Skies The Limit - Hard Feelings - Winds of Change
And to answer your question, "should they have called it quits after Peter
left?". Well the only reason I'm glad they didn't is obvious, it lead to Lindsey
and Stevie joining.
"Quit after Lindsey left?" YES.

If Fleetwood Mac would've ended after Behind the Mask or Time, Fleetwood Mac would be remembered for their Rumours era albums, Oh Wait!!! That's what their remembered for now!!
Personally I glad FM never called it quits, look at what great music the world would have missed out on if they quit when Peter and others along the way left the band. FM could have easily ended when Welch quit. I'm sure Mick, John, Christine were fed up with the revolving door of guitarists, and could have just as easily "pick up their pieces and go home".
As far as the Dance reunion two years after Time goes ,while people wanted the Fab 5 back together, people didn't want Stevie and Lindsey to quit to begin with. The "failure" of
Time, does not mean fans wanted Stevie and Lindsey back. It just means that fans didn't like the
Time album. One thing doesn't always mean or relate to some bigger thing.
