I really like your interpretation.
If they had phrased it more mildly—something like “When one settles down, focuses on family and love, and their performance begins to waver, they won’t be able to do a Prism Jump”—people probably wouldn’t have been so shocked.
And that statement would likely apply to ordinary stars within the story’s world. Characters like Sonata, who abandoned her family, or the protagonists of the series whose passion for their fans is far greater than that of ordinary people, wouldn’t really fall under that category.

It’s not that they can perform the jump because their love is fake—rather, it’s because they are capable of true love while still maintaining an equally intense love for their fans, and that’s why they can perform the jump.
Doesn’t that make sense?

In a way, it feels a bit like something Yoshiyuki Tomino would write. Hishida just expressed it in a way that was too blunt and short. It’s the kind of thing that might have been fine to say in a personal lecture or a private interview book (in fact, this idea was already mentioned in the previously published Don’t be a Slave interview book). But saying it in a public space like X was a mistake.
