It seems to me you are implying that somebody put extended crunch time on Andy Gavin and he had to put up wit it? Please look up who is he.

Not really the point. Read the section OP quoted, "YOU JUST DIDN'T LEAVE". Do any of those people sound like crunch was fun to them? They liked working on the game, and some of them reminisce about the crunch time like old soldiers telling war stories, but I don't see any positive adjectives in there. About the nicest thing anybody said was "when you're young you don't feel it that much," which is pretty faint praise.
I replied to the comment quoting Andy specifically. Other people might be having different opinions. I am sure there are people who hate crunch and some at the Naughty Dog might be them. There are tons of such people in EA or working on the Aplle's factory in China for sure but I am not discussing their opinions, which were not mentioned in this thread.
