He probably doesn't like it and that probably doesn't matter. In the documentary "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki", it is said that Isao Takahata is the only director that Miyazaki has respect for and considers his equal or perhaps better.

As such we shouldn't give too much weight on his opinion on things outside the kind of movies he wants to make.
