Honestly don't get how anyone could ever question James' and D'arcy's contribution. If all four never would been in a band together, none of these songs or albums ever would have been made. How they got there and how they were made is irrelevant at the end of the day. It's honestly shocking how Billy talks about this situation like its complicated or difficult to understand, when in reality its just why everyone loves rock bands, in that there's something really cool that happens sometimes when random people get together to play some music. I wasn't there when Siamese Dream was recorded. My best guess is that Billy probably was the better technical player, and maybe he did what needed to be done to to get the band over the top while the window of opportunity was open, but at the same time that album wouldn't exist without James and D'arcy.
