I don't know why so many people see this as just Urobotchi complaining, when he was just answering the questions the interviewer gave him

He was asked what troubles he might have had and he replies that it was hard at first to make fruits into a heroic concept(and lets face it, a lot of Kamen Rider fans were dismissive of it themselves because of the fruit motif) but he worked around it. He was then asked what troubles he had in the begining and he mentioned the fact that the show was delayed because of toys.

If he brought these up on his own I could understand but I read it as him being more neutral than actively hatting the gimmick.
