I'm sure Reprise and Warner would have agreed with you. Casual fans are who at the end define their market share.
I remember there were threads and poll here, about which songs would we have chosen so that t SYW would have a usual runtime.
If it had only 12 songs, would I listen to it more often? Maybe, but I don't think much more. Definitely not as much as Tusk.
Would it have sold better? Probably, Google says when Fleetwood Mac released Say You Will on April 15, 2003, the standard CD version carried a standard list retail price of $18.98. Correct me if I'm wrong but that was a bit more expensive than the usual price. How much more would it have sold if it had cost ~$13? I don't think much more; it was already 2003.
How many
casual fans cared that Christine wasn't there, to the point of not wanting to buy the album? That's a good question.
