I think he clearly craved success, but he wanted it on his terms. He thought he could convert people and somehow change the definition of “radio friendly.” It wasn’t that he had no interest in sales. He was hoping to sell something more innovative and unique, but could not.

That's really what I was getting at. And I think his frustration came more out of people not getting his vision. (like the masses, Ken, etc.) Add a little jealousy for his ex lover's massive commercial success and viola!!! You have an artist that keeps trying to create something on his/her own terms.
