But there is more to it that that. ABBA are clearly aware of their legacy, and wanted to honour it with new work, so they've overcome whatever emotional obstacles that were there in their past to create something that continues their story. FM - with the clear exception of Lindsey - seem to have no idea of what they represent to their fans, or at least no interest in it. Why should they, I suppose? They don't owe us anything; it's up to them whether or not they make new work or not.
They seem to have decided that their true legacy is dysfunction and conflict.

This is spot on. Other band members have acknowledged the multiple generations attending their concerts, but it’s really only Lindsey who began to understand why at a deeper level and what the bands legacy has come to mean to them. He’s the first to acknowledge that that there is in fact a segment of people who want to hear more than the hits.
