Joined a lobby where Ryan_is_OP was the host. Beat his Akira with Ryu. He switched to Rig and I Leon. Beat him again. Then he panic picks Gen Fu, so I do the same. Match ends as you'd predict. He backs out and kicks me from the lobby.

True, but you never specified that. You said that you "never understood," which would apply to every scenario in which it happened that you witnessed. And I imagine that you've witnessed it on social media, before.
If someone breaks a game CD in a hilarious manner to make a rhetorical point for a video that they upload to YT which garners thousands/millions of views, that would more than make up for the $40-$60 you spent to purchase the game (whether through monetization or other, more valuable means).
So...
I don't care. At all.
Hayashi directed Sigma 2, and Itagaki hasn't been working for Team Ninja in ages. So I guarantee that he won't be the head of development for NG4.
