I think he does the best that he can, at the same time, he realizes that, after touring for more than 30 years, that he can't please every fan in the world. I think back in the 80's, 90's and even the 00's, he worked very hard to put out the best show he could, and put a setlist that would make every fan happy, or at least he tried. But I think over the years, thanks to social media, he now maybe sees complaints from fans about setlists and maybe how his voice is not the same as it was in the past, and maybe before he may have paid attention to fans in social media, maybe a little too much, but I think now Jon is at a point in his career where he is at peace, and all he can do is the best that he can on stage, give the best performace he can, and if some fans don't like or not satisfied, then he can't force them to like it, it is what it is. I guess maybe I not as pickey as some ppl here, when I go to a Bon Jovi show, I just want to enjoy the music and have fun, and see the band have fun to, that to me is more entertaining than how well is Jon's voice, or what the setlist is.
Yes and No. The only reason I see for this static setlist is that Jon can't get better or it's taking more time than he expected to reach a level where he can add more difficult songs. Nobody is complaining because he's not singing Always, it's just that this specific setlist is not working even for casuals.

There are many (casual) fan favorites he could sing and still save his voice and make people more open to so many THINFS songs. Unless they are in a very tight budget and for some reason the logistics of changing the setlist every night are too complicated, I don't see why he's not listening to the fans.

And as everybody here has pointed out, Valentine's day had a tradition of romantic songs. Would it kill him to end the show with a ballad?
