It's simply because they are a great band with pop sensibilities. The videos got heavy airplay because people wanted to see them!
This is there career, and of course they have to make money to support their families. Why stay stuck in the same mold forever? Look at them not as artists, but as people.
And just to please fickle fans who love to cry sellout, they continue to put out indie projects like Foxboro Hot Tubs, that STILL do very well!
Green Day has always loved there fans, and as there revune increases, they get more exposure, and can create more media/material to these loyal fans like myself.
