I totally agree....he had no desire to get that level of success personally because he had fame and commercial success already in one aspect of his career. I think initially it bothered him that Stevie had a successful solo career and he didn't have it to the same degree but I think with his last three albums he gave up caring about her and being competitive and focused solely on his own individual growth and fulfilment
