does MGS belong to the mecha genre?
No, the mechs don't play a big enough role.
This is for you.

Even the name of the mecha is the main title.

He didn't say it wasn't a big role, it just wasn't big enough. The mechs are there for a very small percentage of the game time, and aren't even the main focus of 4 and 5's plots
They're a plot element, but they're not mech games. Only in one main entry do you pilot one.
I think Kojima had a hard on for mechs, and got that out with ZoE

Kojima said that Metal Gears are the bare-focus just cause its in the name of the games.
