Ok shitposting aside, lets put ourselves in the shoes of late 90's nintendo, lets say they are aware of their latest and most controversial game, Conker and lets be honest, outside all the parody's and easter eggs, the game was a janky piece of crap, now for the tipical western mind they usually ignore most of it because its fun and they love the parody's.
The japanese however, they only see a janky platformer full of dated pop culture references and pee pee and poo poo humor and the higher ups in nintendo were mostly old farts in suits so that should give you an even better idea, they just didn't trust in Rare anymore after conker + they probably had an early tease of grabbed by the ghoulies wich just reaffirmed their suspicions, because oof that game was a real stinker.
Rare was done for after the N64 age, sadly time only gave them the reason.
