Because players only think of themselves, not the game.

"I want this!"

"I want that!"

Not everyone wants the same thing and the game would need things that benefit everyone, e.g having a responsive UI would be a lot less of a want compared to how people want content and jumping, they'll overlook the important thing and go for things they want.

Tanaka had a plan.... in my opinion he had a pretty good plan... and what happened there?
XIV got rushed out ahead of scheduel (this can't be denied, all evidence of higher up intrusion (wada) is there.) hence the whole "please wait a month to review the game" thing because they weren't done even debugging the game.

Plans aren't risky or else games are never made in the first place.
