this, exactly!
they are only recording to fulfill their creative needs as a band, as still prolific artists. who all is or is not on their new album and whether or not it sells will have no impact on long ago established FM status and legacy.
just look at the other legendary bands and their various recording and touring configurations. look at Beach Boys, or Guns n' Roses. do most people even know which configuration is touring nowadays and who is recording under the band name? it doesn't matter. their legacy and name was established long time ago.
