Based on the article you shared, producer Yoshiaki Nishimura made these remarks and then later apologized for them. Hayao Miyazaki isn’t mentioned in the piece.

Pixar CCO Pete Docter asked Hayao Miyazaki,
"When do you make changes for you and when do you make changes for the audience?" during the INSIDE OUT 2 press tour.
Miyazaki replied, "I never think about the audience."

Docter and many other old timers at Pixar wanted to deal with heavier, more serious issues like grief and emotional regulation, with tons of β€œtherapy speak” in Inside Out, Wall-E, and Up. But when it’s queer themes it’s all β€œBack off loser, I’m not your therapist. I’m just here to sell popcorn!”

it’s general principles mixed with noticing a trend of people saying art is bad if audiences misinterpret things and take away the β€œwrong message.” being overt and didactic out of fear of what media illiterate people may think will lessen the overall impact. cozy art is another conversation.

it’s anecdotal, but i’ve encountered a number of people who like breaking bad and don’t like better call saul.

all art should resonate. how it accomplishes this goal is up to the artist. if you operate from a place of fear and coddle the intended audience, you’ll diminish the impact.
