Your argument might hold more water had Capcom not also included Phoenix Wright, a character with literally no moves except poking his arm forward and yelling objection.
I'd actually argue that, while another person said Mega Man's a moveset designer's wet dream, I'd argue the opposite. Phoenix Wright is.
With Mega Man, you have to meet certain expectations. There's gotta be the buster. Is this move a good fit? If we ditch Rush, they're going to be pissed. Why are all these moves projectiles, which do we pick? Mega Man has plenty of options, even if they're all basically the same, and in the end it just becomes a big mess of what you do and don't want and if it even works with you and the fans.
With Phoenix Wright, you have a blank slate for the most part. All people are expecting is an Objection, which is pretty easy. From there, you can do whatever you want, and people will either love him because he's PHOENIX WRIGHT, or hate him because he's some idiot lawyer who isn't Mega Man. Basically, less is more because it allows for more freedom.
