I think it boils down to people trying to find correlations in the industry. It's no mystery that a lot of Okada shows have cross dressing for example, it's a quirk that seems to follow her in whatever show she's in.
You're not wrong in that a lot of this is speculatory and how we can't know 100%, but I think the idea here is about being able to make educated guesses based on available information how much a person can contribute to a production or sink it.
This information is helpful for deciphering what anime to watch in the future and for what staff members we might want to avoid.
Personally I've been able to figure out what staff to follow pretty well for myself because of such speculatory information.
