Didn't Verhoeven famously not read the book? Hard to call it "satire" then, "straw man" might be more accurate.
Perhaps less famously, Edward Neumeier wrote his screenplay.
I hadn't heard that before but I agree with you, it doesn't qualify as satire if he didn't even bother to consume the source material. At least not in the literary sense.
