Because, as said above, he's not a creator. Kamiya should know he worked at Capcom. A lot of former Capcom talent turned out fine. Street Fighter vets of II left and created Fatal Fury. Kamiya left and Bayonetta—wonderful 101. Mikami left and got VanQuish. Evil Within. Hi-Fi Rush. Ghostwire. Plenty of Strider team left, and we got some good clones. Like Osman and Run Saber. Since he left Capcom he was exposed, that he really needed the talent at Capcom. Much like Itagaki needed the staff at Team Ninja more than they needed him.
