I think Mick changed with the superstardom and having incredible pop success with the band. He had a lifestyle that people dreamed about. The problem is he could never keep that lifestyle. He is not a singer so he will do anything for good singers and songwriters in the band. Up to 1974 they had a comfortable lifestyle with almost no pop or huge commercial success. Even with Chris and Bob in the band they made their money with touring. Suddenly there are 3 songwriters in the band taking the band to #1. The money came flowing in. Albatros was a #1 hit in England but even though it was Peter Green it was an instrumental song and all of the band shared the success. Mick got spoiled and he's been chasing the dragon since 1983. He keeps trying to get back up to where he was. So he will do meet and greets or sell Biddy's undies to keep him afloat. This is why I love the Mick vs Stevie years. Mick was bitter she was gone and was fighting her instead of what he does now which is do anything for anyone as long as he makes money.
At the end of the day Fleetwood Mac is a business. This is why there was no friendship strong enough to put Stevie in her place when Lindsey got fired. They were all co-workers. A true friend would have said NO WAY. Had Stevie tried to fire Mick I guarantee John and Chris would have stopped it. Those 3 share a bond and are friends. But everything else is just a business decision especially for Mick.
