Austin, Hogan, 90's Shawn Michaels, they would told Vince they aren't doing it and that would be it.
Not saying they were more professional than Dean, walking out clearly is not, but when they say they fought, that is the difference.
Hell, even good found Jesus Shawn Michaels didn't like how they booked his match with Hogan, so he bumped like a total assailed during their match, which was amazing btw.

The difference now being - as explained by Dean on Wade Keller's podcast - that if he or other guys go off script or take that kind of risk, a producer or writer will lose their job. So, like decent people, they stay on script. In Austin's day, he didn't have to worry about that. With Michaels bumping for Hogan, you had to be a "smart" fan to understand what he was doing and I don't think Vince cared.
It's not the same landscape. Austin has even said he couldn't succeed in this environment.
