Well, maybe you are right, but was the intention to create RQ not because of beeing unsatisfied with the D&D rule system? And after RQ release Perrin and his companions abandoned D&D completely, no?
AFAIK Mongoose has never been stated to be unsatisfied with d20. And I am sure a lot of them are still favoring this awful rule system for their private games. Thats why I said the Mongoose guys are coming from a "different roleplaying culture" than RQ and are still embraced by it.
