I think something to consider is that the original promos for Peace Walker spoke of the events in Central America and MSF's involvement as being classified information, making that entire operation uknown to anyone who wasn't directly involved. Huey was never mentioned being involved with bipedal technology before the revelations of Peace Walker and it could be likely that he wasn't able to make his name known for such work outside of MSF and Cypher since the power struggle between those two entities were mostly underground before the Outer Heaven uprising.

We can gather from the red band trailer that Huey's loyalty to MSF might've been seen as questionable. Being who is arguably the person most vital to ZEKE's technology, Big Boss would be incapable of producing Metal Gear technology. If Huey stops working with him, BIg Boss would be forced to find someone else who is capable of producing said tech (perhaps Dr. Madnar, in this case). There is very much a possibility the Huey abandon's BIg Boss as an ally (hell, we all know Miller eventually does just that).
