Yoshida: I don't understand people who only want AAA

Yes.  Coming from a developer whom has likely put out more games and even has a publisher to back them and invest to get copies on the shelves which some store has purhcased already and pay to let the market know about the game aka advertising already kinda has a seal of approval by many different parties as to the AAA product. Even if the games do look identical.  Which I wouldn't say is true of most non AAA games.   

Bold: speculation, there are some indie developers that were headed up by people who used to work at AAA studios and some AAA studios that likely didn't make very many games.  

Underline:  That's the only difference. 

Italics:  Have you seen No Man's Sky?  Guess which it is: indie or AAA?

For one I said likely. Which is a pretty big admission that it's absolute. Though publishers are simply more willing to endorse developers whom have released multiple high scoring games that sold well.  

Even if it is the only difference that's a HUGE difference.  To pretend it doesn't make any difference in customer's mind I think would be incorrect of all of us. Otherwise advertising wouldn't be a big business at all. 

Once again I said that isn't true of MOST non AAA games.  Meaning that obviously there will be exceptions.
