Probably too scared to come out about it and/or censored, as with many others around the world. Plus, Japan is very big on conformity, so they don't want to risk coming out with an unpopular opinion (from the perspective of global elites) or as a nail sticking out in the international community. I know Taiwan's doctors are very attentive and thorough, so I thought when the covid numbers went up over there (a couple months ago) the doctors would be like "Oh. HCQ works" and the whole world would know... But nope, it was doom and gloom and all about case number, deaths, and lockdown over there too. Hopefully, Japan speaking out means something has happened to some people behind the scenes. (I just noticed the article was from February 2021, so they were probably trying to fix covid before the Olympics...)
