The company was founded in 1979 by Kenzo Tsujimoto. He remains the CEO
to this day. He started business in an era when hackers would
literally take out the boards from arcade machines, apply a new ROM,
and then resell it as a completely new machine. There was reason for
Capcom's paranoia and hatred of modding. Is it any wonder the company
is still obsessed with the same ideals it had 40 years ago?

Thats the problem of most japanese corporations nowadays, they are run by a bunch of 70+ guys never to retire and who basically do not understand that times have changed. Thats one of the major reasons why Japan could not keep up its dominance it had in the 80s, that and that Japanese themselves have a tendency not to look outside of their borders for historical reasons!
Capcoms stance on modding is just a symptom of those two problems japanese companys have generally.
