Well, not trying to defend Yoshida or the writing team, because I'm not a fan of that kind of shift either, but I think the fundamental difference between him and Matsuno is that Yoshida is ultimately really trying to appeal to the masses as much as he can. Which makes him technically a really good producer, after all that's what his job is for, to ensure maximum return is generated from his product and that they get all the resources they need for that.
One is a very good producer. The other is a good creator. It's like the difference between... Shuntaro Furukawa and Satoru Iwata. Similar positions (CEOs) with the same long-term goal but very different philosophies (one thinks strictly as a financial analyst and the other came from being hands-on with game creation).
