Yoshida actually already said that they just prioritzed NPC companies because the game needs content more urgently than a guild system when there already are linkshells.

It's to be noted that one of the reps in the Japanese forum actually talked about a possible expansion of crest customization when player run companies will be implemented. This means that they're still going to be done.
