I think they were mocked. Tom Petty said he didn't take them seriously and that that was a mistake on his part.

Sunday I read two things from bloggers. One just said "Stevie Nicks and her sidekick" and the other was rejoicing in Christine's return and enumerating Stevie and Christine's long line of hits and noted that Lindsey only had Big Love, Tusk and GYOW, that's all because he wasn't a very good writer. The blogger didn't say whether he had anything else to recommend him aside from those awful writing skills, but I got the impression that he probably didn't.

actually Mick wrote about that in his book, during white album touring days when they were touring with Loggins etc... but i'm not sure that the writer of this article has nearly as much insight as your post would expect him to (although i might be underestimating him).

also, i think the bulk of what you wrote can be sorted under him being "overlooked" (as a guitarist, producer, songwriter, arranger, etc etc) not necessarily mocked.

either way, i'm glad he's slowly getting his due. displaying his guitar skills while jamming with a bunch of much younger alternative rockers in front of the mass audience (and away from all that FM / SN's ex baggage) certainly seems like a good and enjoyable way for him to do it.
