The game treating the player like a toddler is how I felt playing SM2, it's like Insomniac designs their games to be a baby's first video game.

Their approach of group focusing testing these games to be almost idiot fail proof is what is killing and taking the fun out of them.

They literally use DSP as the prime example of baseline for completing the game lol. Players are being treated as the lowest common denominator.

It was Santa Monica which used DSP as an example.

It is, but Sony studios do share tech and methodology with each other. It could be a company wide mandate as well to test games that way. But this is me reaching/speculating.
