It's 100% his fault. For the amount of set up Wano had before arc even started, from Act 2 onwards it should've been straight flames. He was utterly surrounded by potential and had a near endless supply of hype he could deliver. But he chose volumes of Udon summer camp over fleshing out and properly developing his main antagonist. He chose 9 boring fugly samurai to be the main characters over the straw hats. He chose ice oni plots over meaningful stories for the supernovas. He chose quantity of shitty fodder smiles over the quality of awakening and named attacks from his top executives and calamities.
These are all decisions he consciously made which not only blocked and delayed the good stuff that everyone had been waiting years for, but instead promoted and spotlighted irrelevant crap people couldn't wait to be done with. If he really did get told to axe it, it's completely deserved. Best case scenario is that it teaches him a lesson for the final arc. But for some reason I highly doubt that.
