Stop spewing this rhetoric as if it holds any ground, you're pulling justifications out of your ass when the fact is the team at Capcom were just fucking TIRED of making those games, and bear in mind Mikami himself originally wanted RE2 to conclude the story, before another staff member decided it would be better to milk it dry.
>The story of Resident Evil 1.5, with which Mikami planned to end the series, was criticized by supervisor Yoshiki Okamoto, who found it to be too conclusive to allow for future installments. Instead, Okamoto proposed the creation of a fictional universe that would turn Resident Evil into a metaseries – similar to the Gundam and James Bond franchises – in which self-contained stories with common elements could be told.

The series' never really outdid the first game anyway, sure the graphics got better and they improved technically, but nothing even came close to the twisted puzzlebox that was RE1's mansion. RE1>RE2>RE3>RE4>RE7, everything else is irrelevant.
