japanese devs approach game design with their own preferences in mind, not those of their fans
in turn, they think there's something wrong with the fans for not liking what they create instead of looking at their games from a objective standpoint
its one of the reasons the gamecube fell behind the ps2 and xbox overseas; nintendo felt that their games were the best on the market and that they exemplified what people should want from games, but everyone was into other stuff like sports, gta and the like
instead of going with the flow and getting those kinds of games on the gamecube, they blamed the fans for, quote-unquote, "betraying" them and the brand
tldr, japanese devs for the most part are ignorant to the players and their feedback
