The thing is that most developers are hardcore gamers themselves, and as such they don't want to make casual games, because it is more satisfying to work on a large, big budget, serious game.

Satisfaction doesn't pay the bills.

Nicely put.  Developers don't get to make the games they want.  Investors tell developers what games they can make.
