The fact of matter is, these days it's just cited as a small part of her history.
It's silly, simplistic and short-sighted thinking to assume the song wasn't released for the reasons you cited. If Stevie was as worrisome and self-conscious as you seem to think she is, how do you explain Gold Dust Woman?

I believe the drugs are cited as a large part of her history.I recall that the Downtown Live interview focused on the drugs more than anything else.
How do I explain GDW? For years she claimed it had nothing to do with drugs.
And when WTTRS was released, Stevie was just out of Betty Ford. It's been sixteen years. I think it's "short-sighted" to assume Stevie's outlook or direction has not changed in that time period. I remember the quote at the time of Street Angel: "Eight years sober and the stories STILL get passed around." She did not sound pleased about discussing drug rumors.
Does Stevie care what critics and fans think? Many of us believe she is over Lindsey, but he revealed recently that she still did not want to be on the song Come because she thought people would think it was about her. So yes, Stevie is at least somewhat "worrisome and self-conscious."
