Would only make sense if setlists were significantly different from show to show...IMO.

As far as I recall, The Who ended up doing DVD as well as CD in their 'Encore Concert Series' releases about six or seven years ago (it had previously been CD only)
Its absolutely doable. I dont know the turnaround for other acts, but in Pearl Jam and The Who's cases, the physical CD releases were usually available about 4-6 weeks afterwards as far as I recall. I'm sure The Who - like the Stones - have had a few off-nights down the years by their standards.
The audio recordings from Pearl Jam's current tour are even on Spotify.

Mick still seems to favor the traditional live album release with studio overdubs.

Mick hates taking risks, we all know that by now!
A "straight-from-the-board" release is a "no no" in his book, and that's pretty logical coming from a band which doctored ALL their live releases since 1970.

As far as I remember they wanted to do this on A Bigger Bang tour, I think they even announced it before the tour but never did this. I think the problem is in the fact that they don't have the rights to their own material from 1963-1969, every time they want to put an old song on a live album they have to pay ABKCO, so if they wanted to release every show from this tour that would probably cost them more money than they would earn.

The 2005-07 tour grossed $570 million in ticket sales alone. I think its pretty safe to say they wouldnt have lost money.
Even more so if even 1% of the 7 million people who attended the shows bought a download where the overheads per sale cost a matter of cents.
The Stones DO make money on ABKCO era releases as well as live versions of the songs from that era. It obviously hasnt been a problem as theyve released several live albums since 2006 (and indeed, throughout their career) containing versions of pre-1971 songs. Theyve authorised quite a few compilations covering material from that era too.

Wouldn't it be great if the Stones released concerts like... Slash and others were doing long ago?
HECK YES!!! Being able to go home and re-see and/or re-hear the show
you just saw would be awesome, it would extend the live concert experience.

It's to the point now that it's impossible to stop people from taking pics, or vids. I mean with cell phones and all. You tell people you can't take a cell phone into a show and you probably would lose a huge audience. Alot of people I know couldn't go 5 minutes without being on that damn thing. (Personally I hate the things). Remember when Axl started a riot when he saw someone filming one of the Guns shows? What does he do now when someone whips out a cell phone? Stop the concert?
The Stones might as well sell downloads to each concert right after the show. Just sell them cheap though... $5. Like the good 'ol bootleg days. You get the fanatics and also more likely the casual fan would buy it if it was available 30 minutes after the show is over.

Absolutely not
Here's an example: I have just watched a "youtube recording" which was a part of a DIME torrent, a recording from Chicago 2013. Great quality, both audio and video, all was filmed from several angles
One person called that "Gimme Shelter" the best GS of the last tour
And maybe he was right? In either case, that's the most pathetic Gimme Shelter I have ever heard. The "licks" (could one call that "licks" ? ) by Keith is the most annoying notes one could imagine
Of course Ronnie's dead-on-chord at about 1 minute *should* be taking the cake, but that is such an obvious stupid mistake and actually is no contender to the incredible lacklusture guitar department during the rest of the song (and show)
Here is the video:
This band is lucky to have busy idiots buying tickets, but they would be pushing it too far if they think they start selling recordings of the shows, afterwards. They should have done that in the 60s, 70s and 80s......but of course there were no internet at that time

Agree w/ Erik that this is pretty bad. The "solo" especially, where the problem really is the notes. This is not 'good' weaving, where two guitars are bending and feeding off each other; this is an annoying mismatch of clunkers. But what is worse IMo throughout the whole song is how out of sync they sound. Charlie and Keith are not hitting together. By now they have figured it out how to work it w/ the monitor mix; this delay that comes w/ performing on the huge stadium stages. It has to be a major drag that as a band it becomes almost impossible to achieve a tight core unit, just because of the physics of such wide space. This might contribute to these slower tempos. Still - this is a very sloppy performance.
I myself am really over the whole middle spot of the female singer, going into the 3rd verse.
