Even if there is no rigidity to the teams and necessary development grunts shift around to and fro, the people that are shaping the games to be unique are the ones making bigger decisions like Directors, Planning Directors, etc., are committed to directing just one project.
Team A game innovations might not make it in a Team B game and vice versa because of the people manning the ship and because they're working concurrently and don't have time to see player feedback.
