In your analogy, Jon and Richie are the Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Bon Jovi for me and neither should be replaced. Richie's involvement in this band is way, far and above that of Criss or Ace. Richie’s absence, for me, is so much more than just the way he plays guitar but that’s been discussed to death.

Paul and Gene own the rights to KISS. Jon owns Bon Jovi so he is the only person that cannot be replaced. While t would be different to you, Richie is replaceable, in fact he HAS been replaced. If people will continue to buy at a level that suits Jon is still to be determined. But everyone IS replaceable.
Jon has called Richie's bluff (not that we even know what it is) and the ball is in Richie's court. He can come back and accept the deal or he can continue to jam with fabric. But Bon Jovi will go on - if for no other reason than Jon to prove a point.
