It doesnt....have to be just Slippery but you live in a fantasy land where just because you/we want it to be done, it's criminal that they're not. If you want an honest answer of why it's not, compare the two albums. Both were hit albums, but Crush's was off the backs of the band back together and a massive single in It's My Life. Past that, nothing resonated. Say It Isn't So made zero impact, Thank You For Loving me was a minor hit in some regions.
ATYCLB had Beautiful Day, Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Elevation, Walk On. All at varying levels of airplay and "hit song" but literally 4 times the amount of successful singles Crush had. I'm not being defensive, I'm giving you my opinion on why Crush ain't getting a re-release.

You underestimate what Crush supposed at that time, it was a big record, their singles, they were everywhere, perhaps with less success than U2, but they had their way. That album and that song marked Bon Jovi's return to the big leagues. With that alone, it would justify an anniversary relaunch. My opinnion of course.
