Absolutely. I think it's telling that the one piece of artistic criticism he admits he wants to fix is that characters are looking diagonally, which seems trivial compared to other visual design issues in the game. Part of the problem seems to be that his critics range from the unrealistic "Just™ triple your budget and make it look competitive with AA games" to the more practical "why not think about visual design more coherently and address some of the low-hanging fruit to make your games more approachable and broaden your audience?" and he's lumping everything into one big WONTFIX pile. But at the end of the day, if he's found an audience and can support his family, more power to him.
