While I think that's all completely valid in a vacuum, it falls apart when you remember that this is a product he's selling, as in, a consumer is supposed to pay for this.But Rem said HE doesn't want to, he PERSONALLY prefers not to do this. What you fail to understand is that he says dev's personal growth > your pleasure. He sees what you want, but he wouldn't do it.
I don't know how else to put it, he doesn't want to work for you, he wants to work for his vision of what creativity is, and get better as a creator. It's arguable if it's right or not, after all people did put A LOT of money into him, so morally speaking he should consider their interests as at least something he has to please. Then again, creativity doesn't work well on demand, and if you pressure an author his work would be rather hollow, and he'll get disheartened in process, but KP doesn't exactly require too much of his genius wasted to make more content.
So is he right? Or is he wrong? No idea. After all, he does try to please people at the same time, he doesn't completely ignore them, it just didn't work trying to combine their interests and his creativity as it is right now into one thing.
Flexing your creative muscles is all well and good, but the entire problem here is that he didn't meet the expectations of the consumer, thus the poor feedback. Perhaps he wouldn't be having this creative crisis if he didn't tailor the product to his own whims, but those of the people he's supposed to be selling to.
A DLC job addon is also probably the wrong place to do this kind of mold-breaking, save it for the next product where it might gel more with the content there rather than awkwardly jamming it here.
