Can't really speak for all of them though. Mali and one of the sprite designers had some clear beef against Screwattack, but Zack and Aquila were less vocal about it aside from some times they said they felt rushed. Plus from the way Hyper Gauge was set up, you couldn't work for SA and them at the same time, so they could've just chose what was the better deal.

We know Acquila left because she wanted to do something else (even if she was initially set to do the Sasori fight), while Zack's leaving conditions are unknown. My guess is they went the way of Donimation and just got sick of animating crossover fights.
