Crunchyroll didn't realize they'd have to negotiate new contracts with licensors when they moved shows from Funi's platform to theirs. He implied licensors were asking for more money to do this.
This.

Most anime studio would just roll over (since a lot of Japanesse animation studio let english side/Crunchyroll/Funimation handle licensing.)

While Toei (the world biggest anime studio) has a english side that allows the likes of Funimation to act as licensing agents for them, they still have a lot of control over what happens with there properties.
