The community practically worships Miyazaki. You can't go one page on any of the given subreddits before stumbling across a mention of him. Granted, he's a director and maybe not specifically the lead dev - but that's a reflection of the size of modern games. Aside from indie titles (where authors, like Notch or John Blow, are in fact very well known) - AAA games employ such a staggering number of developers that singling any one of them out is almost impossible. Hence, whoever guides the creative vision (in this case, Miyazaki) is the one whose name becomes synonymous with the title.
