The reason isn't budget per se, but also time (definitely a factor). And the fact that the Japanese entertainment industry is not union-based is also a factor. (Tsuburaya Productions is the most consistent of these companies, considering that they're chiefly a SPFX studio.)
I personally don't worry about such things. I could hardly care less if people want these films to live up to Hollywood standards, because fans tend to be worried about what America will say about these films (after decades of being called "cheesy" and "campy", etc., by cynical critics). I don't care what Mainstream America thinks. I have always enjoyed these productions, partly because America lacks the one thing the Japanese have had in spades: Imagination.

I'd like a big puppet. The same kind they used to make the Aliens come to life. It's not a suit, not a robot, or is it CGI.

I've never really understood the desire for a Godzilla anime. GINO's animated show does gives us a decent ride, but I really admire these sort of stories for the spfx work and whatnot. Not saying I'm against any route such as this, I just feel like part of what made me like the character in the first place would be lost.

People who want Godzilla to go all-CGI seem to have this idea of Godzilla looking real in the same way as the CGI in something like Jurassic Park or Transformers. That'll never happen. No American studio is going to touch Godzilla again. If any Godzilla movies are ever made in the future, they're going to be made by Toho, so any all-CGI Godzilla is going to look incredibly underwhelming. Imagine a full-length film featuring the CGI Godzilla from the beginning of Always 2. It's not going to be a pretty sight, no matter how many neck-twitchings or other lifelike ticks they give him.
