Editors are trying to recover from a hiatus where they lost alot of popularity, they aren't in a current category anymore.

Bloc party have barely made themselves noticed, and going on hiatus again? Might as well just call it a day and make a new band.

I'd then consider the follow up album a comeback of sorts... And that's not a bad thing!

Whatever Adele makes next will be considered a comeback, just because she's been out the limelight for a year or so!

But bands that vanish after a failed second album, only get attention at festivals for the nostalgia. But nostalgia doesn't sell masses of records.

Of course bands get smaller, but want they don't do is accept worse and worse slots with anything like the frequency that they play when they're on the rise. Yeah some bands will come back after a while and play lower slots than last time but it's far more likely for a band to never come back and instead continue to play better slots at other festivals (especially with the range of festivals that are on offer nowadays).

So while the explanation that band would accept a lesser slot because they're smaller or less in demand may be logical in one sense (the slot they would get), whether they would actually take that slot is something completely different.
