Are there some sources for all this? Stuff like it being done out of spite or selfishness kinda feels like speculation/headcanon.

It's a mix of both fact and speculation.

Retro Studios initial development troubles under NOA and EAD's brutal audit of the studio are both pretty well documented.

And when you combine that with how Nintendo's development departments were run under Yamauchi, as per Motoi Okamoto's testimony, it's pretty easy to conclude that this was likely the motivation behind Miyamoto having Retro do Metroid Prime.
