Nasu runs a pretty tight ship. I have no doubt that he does get to have a say on servants and what they can do. We know from an interview that type moon tells DW which servants to give animation upgrades to and its likely they do this for SQ buffs as well.

He might get a say, but he doesn't make the decisions. He's certainly not going to make some literally who the anniversary Servant just because he's buddies with the artist.
Which is not to say Oberon definitely isn't the anni Servant, but if he is it won't be because of Nasu.

I also very much doubt that T-M simply tells DW who gets animation updates/SQs and when, if only because that would be tantamount to literally telling them how to do their jobs. They work together (as proven by the constant collaboration campaigns/accompanying animation updates).

Nasu gave the instructions to buff what servants, be it skill wise or animation wise. It once caused an uproar when the guy believed that instinct is a very good skill and should not be touched. Also, an interview long ago revealed that TM says no to NP skip even though DW has a prototype ready, so there.
Also, Kiara, Liz and Medb says hi when you think Nasu has no influence over what in-game Servants turn out like, or when.
People really underestimates the control Nasu has over DW. Sure, DW screw up sometimes, but they are also used as a shield for Nasu's mess up as well. Personally, I felt that 2 lack the guts to tell Nasu what he thinks, about his poor control with schedule etc which led to the mess of long waits.
Have you seen the fandom response to him? He's probably the most popular out of this LB rn.

So what obvious and somewhat lazy upgrades do we have to expect for the 14 SQ come Anniversary 6?
- Charisma: Saber, Saber Alter, Gaius, Gilgamesh, Alex, David, Ryouma, Rama, Penthesilea, Saber Lancer, Ko-Gil, Gilgamesh (Caster), Sheba, Iskander, Saber Lancer Alter
- Tactics: Gilles, Gaius, Vlad (Extra)
- Instinct: Santa Alter, Saber Lily
- Scuffed NP multipliers: Medea, Paracelsus, Beowulf, Jack
Golden Rule is something I wish they'd start improving, but dunno if I'd rather have that over how meh Voyager of the Storm is.

Vampirism (Euryale, Stheno, Carmilla) please
Innocent Monster (Mephisto, Phantom) too. Absolutely no reason for demerit in this day and age
Siegfried's Golden Rule -> Das Rheingold and Disengage -> Tarnkappe
If Siegfried is supposed to be a tank, like DW intended him to be, he needs a 3-hit invuln (or more) to represent Armor of Fafnir
Lambda strengthening for absolutely no reason, let's go.
