From one of your links:

Miyazaki’s movies... are aimed abroad at a different audience. Sailor Moon was aimed at kids on television; Miyazaki’s films are aimed at an older crowd in English-speaking North America. Some kids might watch and enjoy them, but it won’t speak to them in the same way as, say, Frozen.

Furthermore, if you asked a person in the audience who saw a Miyazaki movie, chances are they won’t remember the names of the characters. It’s only the people who are diehards who remember names. This is because the characters aren’t marketed by their names, and a big reason why this is the case is because the names are a little hard to remember for the average Anglophone child.

Seeing how my younger sister first saw My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service when she was four years old, and not only loved them but can easily recite the names of the characters to this day...

Yeah, I find Nangbaby's train of logic suspect, to say the least.
