That point has been way overstated. Mick called Keith Olsen (who had already been retained to do the next Fleetwood Mac album) to convince that guitarist from that band to join. Keith immediately explained that he came as a package deal, and Mick asked Keith to convince THEM to join. (ETA: I have a theory that Olsen would have tried to make that match even if Bob Welch had stayed. He needed to stop having Buckingham Nicks be freeloaders.)

In any event, Stevie is the one who had put her foot down that they join. Lindsey didn’t want to.

nor did they produce and arrange the music that propelled their more famous band member to stardom.

Yeah, but he didn’t write lyrics or develop her stage personna. He was only a piece of the puzzle.
