I think a far more straightforward answer is that Nicky believes PFAYM would have been more commerically successful if it followed on directly from SATT. They'd had a big hit with YLAINE, moderate radio play with Autumnsong and so commercially it would make sense to follow up with an album that would be another commercial effort. Nicky probably still thinks that PFAYM is the greatest thing since sliced pan instead of an overproduced attempt at a polished turd, and so I can imagine him thinking they missed out on 'mass communication' because they created proper art in between those two albums.
If you think there was discomfort at grave robbing or anything I think one should remember that they were happy capitalising on Richey's image and lyrics in Judge Yr'self and using the sacroscant 'folder lyrics' in Picturesque.
