Check the liner notes. She wrote the track, produced it and I think even engineered it? It's pretty much all her anyway. I mean, why would she produce that one if Bob Rock is available? I think it's always been a solo track, just one put on the album for some reason (something Richie is probably used to by now, though).

Like if this was a three, four month process whatever but this is something they talked about ad nauseam for how long? Weird.

What are they gonna do, just NOT release the stuff that's already in the can and cost them (or him, probably) quite a bit?

phil x should and could stay with richie...shanks could go imo, phil himself realises that bj arent truly working , if jon wrote with philx i could get it, but jon doesnt. the dynamic isnt there

At the Rock & Roll HOF induction speech, JBJ actually said he felt like he was in a cover band when both Richie & Tico were not playing with him live. So he obviously is aware of who put the band on the map and who is just playing the songs live now.

I call BS. He is a session player. This is what he does. The Drills are his fun side gig. His job and what he's always done is show up, play what's expected and go home. He probably has more input in BJ than he had with any band (other than The Drills, obviously) before.
