From Mick's book it would seem Christine was keen to contribute to Say You Will. I think it would not have been impossible to persuade her to tour, but I don't think anyone wanted to have to persuade her. Much as she disparaged In the Meantime when she rejoined the band (only to quickly backpedal to avoid offending her nephew and producer), it is a fabulous album and it really shines for me as a jewel in the Fleetwood Mac/solo canon.
Undoubtedly Christine writing songs for Say You Will would have improved its calibre. But the result we got without her is my second favourite Fleetwood Mac album from the Rumours era.
