Retro are a skeleton crew nowadays when compared to their past, you know. That's why they make 2D DK games instead of more high budget material.
After Metroid Prime ended, huge numbers of devs left to form and join other teams.
To turn Retro into what you suggest would necessitate a massive hiring programme which would also change the studio itself. Should they? I definitely say yes.
But understand that asking modern Retro to pull a Naughty Dog is like asking the Animal Crossing team to make an engine surpassing Unreal 4.0 in capabilities.
