Jon could never then say in an interview Richie was irreplaceable, when he was put in the actual position that he HAD to replace him.
As for Bobby - I'm pretty sure he was brought in to cover for Richie in case he flaked out - which he did. Just a shame Bobby just doesn't fit Bon Jovi at all.
Jon wants to work - all the time - he always has, always will. That's never, ever changed. And we know he called Tico and tried to get him in the studio and Tico refused, so Jon went and worked anyway.

That is very unfair to the rest of the band, is not it?.
Before had break, if Jon is in need of work, he can do on a solo album. The rest of the band can live the life their own way too, and not just the life of Jon and their damn visions.
6 albums, 6 tours, it's a shame that all projects (members of band) have to stop because the CEO wants to make another record. He has to do his solo stuff, this band is adding too many mediocre albums by this constant Jon's work ethic. The spark has been lost with this damn process.
I can not blame both Richie, he has gone through hell personally, and has been in the band yet, now found himself with his new solo album, and it seems that does not matter and he can be trampled and forgotten because Jon projects come first, after having spent 10 years of continuous records/touring, bleeding for the cause, ....and in the end of day, Phil is the Hero. Why?. Jon is as responsible for the abandonment of Richie as himself, but that does not matter because Jon are every day on stage.
This sucks, Jon is so full of shit like Richie. But it is easy to pick a winner in this situation, right?
