Cover and Hololive have undoubtedly changed radically from when Aqua joined till today. It's been six years.
Like Marine said, she would never be hired today because of who she is. She joined Erolive. And that's just one very small example of how Hololive has evolved over the years.
Processes and requests have gone from a yes or no reply to a talent's SNS question to weeks, maybe even months-long deliberation behind closed doors.
This is all plainly evident to everyone, and have been things everyone, including fans, have been complaining about. Permissions. Freedom to do this or that.
There is no secret grudge or bullying or bad blood. Cover and Hololive grew big and things got corporate. Coco was suffocated by that earliest and went. And while Aqua may not have been ground down in the same way, talent freedom and all that, corporate monotony may have taken its toll.
Aqua isn't doing a Sana. She cannot do anything else. Maybe you'll see what she wants to do that she couldn't.
