I believe that Going on, Crash and Love this town are specially catered towards the casuals. They are easy to digest wave your hands songs. Jon knows what songs the diehards want, you can tell that by looking at the "good mood jon" gigs, where he plays the real stuff.
I think that Bon Jovi has reached a setlist that caters almost entirely to casuals, because during Bounce tour or before, you had the hits for the casuals but in order to complete the entire setlist you had to have some great songs that we want to hear. Later on easy to sing "party" songs like the ones you mentioned came along and Jon can skip the other songs altogether (I'm talking about LYHOM, WITS, BOG, etc).
On the other hand, I believe that Jon plays the lost highway crap because he likes it, and THAT I can respect.
