It is kind of impressive how Sakurai has the courage to say no to Nasu. Like I know he is the father (the first one) of type-moon but is everyone really that scared of saying no to him.
imo it's less being scared and more japanese work culture and admiration.
the reason why most people work for type moon/create works for tm is because they're fans of the series (think f/sr being created). most people would shy away from pushing back against the creator of 1. a big franchise and 2. a big franchise they're themselves a big fan of
and japanese work culture is known for being absolutely horrid and kind of "never oppose your boss, don't talk back at higher ups", so that contributing factor doesn't help
still even moreso props to sakurai, i enjoyed id and it's nice to see someone at least try to kind of push back
