Because Hasbro/Saban can't see into the future to predict what will be a success or not?
If you're alluding to Go Buster's failure, whether or not a Sentai does well almost never impacts the success of the Power Rangers counterpart.

Yeah, no way those would fly. Toquger would be laughed off toy shelves by the intended demographic of PR, and kids would just see Zyuohger as a Minecraft rip off.

That leaves Lupat and Kyuranger -- both of which had suit and mecha design which could work well enough from a sales perspective. Lupat I can definitely see being too early especially with the complications of the brand ownership passing hands, or perhaps bad sales in Japan warned them off. Kyuranger I can certainly see the issue being too many rangers; where it's difficult to create a focused and balanced toyline and merchandising/branding in general.
Lupin Vs. Pat would be hard just because you're really shaking up the Power Rangers status quo. How do you market two concurrent red rangers? And I think you're absolutely right about Kyuranger just having too many Rangers with too many different designs.
It's a shame, because Go-Busters is a great series as far as suits and mecha, especially compared to what's being produced today. They have sleek designs (well, the vehicle and Ace do) that aren't restricted by a line-wide gimmick, nice colours and details, awesome Ranger suits, etc. Sentai has a bad habit of producing over-saturated suits with poor or no colour break-up, and mecha that are extremely basic and unexciting. Go-Busters ticks all the right boxes for "cool and fun." I'm actually kinda sad Beast Morphers isn't doing well.
Rysoulger makes sense enough. Granted the mecha still come across as too simplistic, but they're also not just giant geometric blocks with sparse detail and no shape. The costumes are also, IMO, ugly as fuck, but are not the almost barren sea of single-colour the other suits are.
