Then please answer the same question I asked TJR:

If there's a wide pool of readily available anime writing talent, and all of these writers are as easily interchangeable as you appear to be arguing, then why is Okada being relied on as much as she is?

P.A works wanted to celebrate their 10th birthday with an original anime,this project would have happened regardless,
Companies don't always get to do exactly what they want to do. Key likely wanted KyoAni to be the animation studio to handle Little Busters! Well, it didn't happen. If P.A. Works had not found writing talent that they felt was up to the job of handling Hanasaku Iroha, perhaps they'd have settled for an adaptation work instead to celebrate their 10th birthday.

And while some Directors do the writing themselves, that doesn't necessarily mean that all Directors are comfortable with it.


Edit: And now it sounds like some of the people on the AKB0048 staff are pissed off with Okada, and for perfectly legit reasons. But in spite of some folks wanting her removed, she's not removed. If these writers were as easily interchangeable as you and TJR seem to be arguing, then why wasn't Okada removed from the AKB0048 staff? Why did Nagai stick with her for AnoHana after being highly critical of her original scrip? Maybe she's not as easily dispensable as you and TJR seem to think she is...
