Questions about the lack of Lucasarts

I was going to ask for a Patreon Q & A but certainly won't waste a question if they've been over this: Considering Avidan's affinity for point-and-click adventures, have they ever said why they've never done any Monkey Island games or really any of the others besides Sam & Max Hit the Road? Did he try them and they didn't click with him as a kid (or at least less than Sierra did)? Were they just too niche comparatively?
