The difference is that Miyamoto had nothing to do with Metroid. EAD didn't over oversee the franchise back then.
So it makes no sense as to why they would suddenly change Retro's Action-adventure project into a Metroid game, unless you view it through the lens of internal competition.
EAD looked at the demand for a new Metroid, saw R&D1's complete and utter failure to bring the series into 3D, and used Retro Studio's mess at the time to say "We'll do it ourselves".
