"Creativity" was actually just a poor translation. What they meant to say was "enhanced legal department". Easy mistake.

Miyamoto is not the current president of Nintendo and hasn't been for a while. These days he's a guy who walks into your office to see what you're doing with the characters he created 35 years ago and says "good job" or "nah, I don't think that fits the spirit of the series". Blaming him for corporate policy is somewhat nonsensical.

He also mentors the new class. From the New York Times:

Shigeru Miyamoto has been making the same request of all new employees at Nintendo for at least the past decade: For the love of all things Super Mario, please design games that might sell 30 million copies.

Afaik he was never the president unless you count a couple of months after iwata died as co-interim president

Legal action also requires a lot of creativity

Instead of creative new games they come up with creative new ways to sue the people making the games Nintendo refuses to make.
