It wouldn't surprise me if being comfortable is part of the lack of urgency. They're in their fifties and all have families, making music when the ideas come (however inspired or predictable) and touring from time to time probably suits them well.
Excluding solo albums, it has occurred to me that they have released just three albums in the last decade, and the first of those three came out ten years ago this month but was recorded earlier. I guess it's not uncommon for artists' productivity and recording to slow down a bit with age.
