Not only did I read the interview, I watched it take place live! :O Please refrain from using condescension in place of an argument.

"Clearly stating" that fishing will be less about button-mashing does not necessarily equate to lack of involvement, and because that's all that's really been revealed, it could just as easily work out that you've got a more intuitive, concise gathering mechanic than simply "press Enter five times to mine fish". We won't actually know until we get to see it/try it ourselves. Once that time comes, critiques for or against the new system would have a lot more ground to stand on than what everyone's basing assumptions right now.

Please look forward to it.
