Purely hypothetically speaking, let's pretend Yoshida spoke full English and hosted a LL in New York. There were no Japanese translations from SE themselves. Do you think the JP community would be fine with that or would they be complaining how it's clearly American bias showing? Considering they have actually accused the dev team of listening to NA more than them in the past, I think we can safely assume they wouldn't appreciate it.

So why does this excuse work when the scenario is flipped? Keep in mind, people aren't faulting Yoshida or any of the dev team. They're pointing to Square Enix, a multi-billion dollar company, not wanting to spend the money to have a translator.
