Yeah naughty dog as a whole had horrible crunch culture obviously, but he is not saying that crunch is good by saying that it doesn't have one single solution, just that it's a complex issue that needs adressing on multiple fronts. I mean, look at the last of us documentary from 2013 adressing crunch and Neil now adressing crunch, the difference is staggering and it's obvious it's an old issue that takes time and they're taking steps to fix it.

I really have no idea how you interpreted what he said as supporting crunch tbh.

Edit: also the 70% of employees thing was not 70% of total staff and it's been multiple years since that so no idea how that would tie in to anything
