Hold on, there. As much as I agree with you, running around and saying that the MG series beat every game in every aspect is too much. I also think that Metal Gear is a superior franchise if compared to other gaming franchises (say, GTA, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell), but it doesn't succeed in every aspect. There is always something that other games have and MG games don't in terms of gameplay, narrative or even graphics.

Also, as weird as it looks, I actually like the fact Kojima is giving praise to another game and isn't pulling the spotlight towards Phantom Pain (not like he ever did). However, as stated before, not even I understand why the GTA features caused him depression. As far as I've seen, TPP isn't trying to be something like GTA, so I see no reason for Kojima to compare it with his own work.
