Because Hollywood butchered his films. Suspicion contained some of Hitchcock's finest work, but was ruined by the studio tacking on a happy ending that makes the whole movie ridiculous.

He was NOT anti-Hollywood. How could he have possible been? He didn't 'have' to make Hollywood movies, he chose to. He had the clout to make movies on his own without anyone telling him what to do. That's not anti-hollywood, by any means. Modern director Steven Sodenberg has the power to make big budget movies in Hollywood. He chooses to make independents between the big films. Gus Van Zant has always been very anti-Hollywood. But, Alfred Hitchcock with several movies that are embedded in our popular culture, plus he had 2 television series... not anti-Hollywood. great question, non-the-less!

The suggestion I can make is that his film Psycho (1960) destroyed the sense of "safe space" in the cinema. The film permanently changed audience expectations for viewing films.
