I question why they keep that tiny little percentage though, since they likely still have to pay for using it, and if the decision to make a soundtrack themselves is to gain money from other foreign dubs paying to use it, then it would be a more profitable exercise to make an ENTIRELY new one instead of a mostly new one but with a very small excerpt of the original soundtrack still there.
I'm starting to wonder if there's some mandate that the anime dub has to keep SOME of the original soundtrack to appeal to the games fans, but the composer and/or editor prefer free reign and loophole this by using as little as they possibly can.
I'm pretty sure it's the latter statement you've put forth, though regardless, it's pretty shameful on TPCi's part to only keep 1 piece of Japanese music in the dub for Movie 20. For the 20th Anniversary, this can and should've been treated better, but since TPCi only really cares about the kids at expense of the quality in general with the dub at this point, it is sadly what it is, I guess.
