As I learned about Steve Whitmire being dismissed from The Muppets. Steve Whitmire may have been an annoying person and bad behavior with Disney and The Henson Family. He was speaking up how The Muppets need to behave. It's because Steve Whitmire was going back on a track on what he felt that Jim Henson wouldn't want. Steve Whitmire was also talking about what he's learned from Jim. After experience working with Jim. Continue to know things about Jim Henson, which is studying and learning about Henson. Steve was portraying Kermit seriously and the performers I don't think never discussed about what they think Jim Henson would want how the characters to act and do. And especially when Kermit lies to Robin and Kermit begins to fight with Fozzie. Steve says that Dave Goelz performs with the characters less  and less. Even without Whitmire, there had been article and video complaints about The Muppets.
