IMO the Stones decision playing mostly a best-of set, with almost ignoring the new songs of ABB is based on the mentality of the average US fan.

as far as I know Wyman has been asked before VL and before Babylon to join the Stones on tour...but he refused. Dont know exactly if he was invited for the licks tour as well, but all in all he had several oppurtunitys to rejoin the Stones after leaving in 91.
