I wouldn't say its "each year", they get freedoms and loose them as the corpo changes, I think it's more "before getting super big and after". The vibe of a smaller company just kinda "gunning it with what we've got" is not the same as that of a big company, there are more stakes and more demands, there is more red tape because projects grow in scale and profitability, I think it's a no-brainer that some people (like aqua) will not be able to adapt to the new environment and workflow.
If you as a fan dislike it then it is totally reasonable to abandon ship, but keep in mind that ALL companies want to get where Holo is atm, so any corpo you support will someday either implode or get to this point.
