I think it is easier to say it is "just another style" when you're not part of the "other" group & when your identity isn't being boiled down to a particular style of menu systems and combat.
Also important is that WWII brought a lot of discrimination on Japanese people from the West & US in particular. This was an era where movies, like Back to the Future Part II and Robocop 3 kind of went out of their way to portray Japanese people as evil. Today, it might seem like jumping at shadows, but for someone in their 50s who was developing games in the early 90s, this kind of discrimination would be more fresh in their mind, so getting that label from the US media could seem bad.
Today, two way communication is easier, thanks to the Internet, so these confusion points are largely cleared up, and if you watch the video where that quote comes from, Yoshida pretty much goes on to say as much. This isn't brought up in the parent poster's linked article though.
For me, one of the coolest thing about the Robocop movie series is that, each Robocop movie is about the next Robocop. Robocop 1 is about Murphy being the first Robocop, Robocop 2 is about Cain becoming the second Robocop, and Robocop 3 is about the asian looking Robocops -- the third generation.
