You do know the prime example of easy to play, hard to master is Tekken right? It also has 3D gameplay (since T3), unlike SF. I don't care if it's a design choice, it's a bad one.
Also Harada is against on disc dlc and character microtransactions. Something which Capcom is notorious for.

They're actually both easy to play and hard to master. Tekken is all about movement. If you want to get good at it you need to learn korean backdash canceling, etc. While in order to be good at Street Fighter 4, a lot of it had to do with performing tight link combos. It had many 1 frame links, which you have a window of 1/60th of a second to input. While Tekken has some tight links as well and just frame moves like electric wind godfist, they're a lot fewer and instead they mainly focused on easier chain combos.
Harada doesn't like paid DLC for content that's essential for gameplay. That can be both good and bad. It's good because we got all the characters and stages for free. The downside of it however is that support for the game ended rather quickly, and when fans were asking for certain characters like Eliza (who was added to Tekken Revolution), he stated that they couldn't do it without making her a paid DLC character, and he promised fans there would be none in TTT2.
Street Fighter 4 had support from Capcom for around 7 years, and one thing that's important for a game that you play for that long is new content. I would have gladly paid for new content for Smash Melee, which me and my friends enjoyed for many years.
Either way, Capcom are now taking a similar approach to Harada's mentality, but imo Capcom's new approach is better, because we get continued support, and it will be free. They're able to do that by offering the option of paying for characters with real money, or by spending in-game currency that you earn by playing the game.
As mentioned above, there will be no Super, Duper or Ultra versions this time around. All system updates will be free, and anything that can affect the outcome of a battle will be free, or purchasable with in game currency.
There will be special costumes that can only be purchased with real money though. But that's something you can easily ignore if you don't like it.
