It's because Insomniac (along with Naughty Dog, who made Crash Bandicoot) were originally part of Universal, but after a while they didn't like the business politics and had enough money to go on their own. But when they left, they had to leave the rights behind to their flagship titles. So the games have been handled by its original team, hence lacklusterness with little chance of getting better again.
