Gaming question: Why is Kojima so praised?

I mean, I know Konami fired him...but have you ever thought it was with good reason? He obviously can't write to save his life...I made a post before on why MGSPP was overrated...but it's seriously overrated...he forgot simple character traits that characters HE WROTE were famous for...MGSPP was a mess mostly thanks to him, can you blame Konami?

I blame Konami more for the Phantom Pain than Kojima. I thought it was a great game albeit an unfinished product. Metal Gear is one of my favorite series. It's not that he's a bad writer per se, he's just notorious for throwing curveballs at his audience and catching them off guard.
