In Bon Jovi's case, it kind of depends on how much promotion they'd want from their record company. They're the ones who're supposed to sell it, so they'd rather invest their money in something they believe in, as opposed to what Jon believes in, especially considering how Jon is rather clueless as to what would sell or not. I'm sure they'd be allowed to release an album completely up to their standards, but it'd mean a record company would start a smaller promo campaign. And I'm not sure if anyone remembers, but the campaigns for Crush and Bounce were huge.
