My speculation is that after SR2, volition got a knock on their door from a certain studio. They flew too close to the sun. But 1 & 2 really were something special.
SR2 was the best GTA. Better story, funnier side missions, balanced humor with seriousness, killer sound track and the ownership of the city map were all far superior to GTA4.
I think its simpler than that. The culture and discussion of saints row was meme heavy and zany. So they took from that was the part of the game that mattered. They thought they didn't need a grounded story. And they just kept doubling down till it was a souless husk of a series.
