You'd think that but then gfdi y'all, why are WarZidane and myself the only two people who mentioned Nihon Falcom!
Seriously though I think they kinda exemplify the strange "overlooked company in plain sight", you'll find only few people who haven't at least heard of their flagship Trails and Ys series, and you'll also find only few people around who've actually played them. Kinda does give some credence to the very real power of publishers and advertisers, much as I'd like it to not be so.
