If people actually wanted a lot of coverage about the individuals behind those generation defining games, I feel like I would have gotten a lot more of “Miyazaki said…” or “Breath of the Wild dev wrote…”. The Larian coverage seems more like a lot of cheap and easy articles churn out by those sites because they can throw in keywords about the currently popular thing and because even the intern can write them since they happen to speak English.
I couldn’t tell you exactly as I don’t speak japanese, but I believe Hidetaka Miyazaki does quite lot of interviews. Surely there’s something in there you could make an article on, otherwise people would probably stop interviewing him. But of course, you’re right, Larian could also be especially vocal for some reason.

Do they make as many public statements as Larian does?

If you can point to statements made by him that don’t really get covered I’ll agree, but I don’t know what these would be.
