The rangers they represent are still clearly around, but not using their powers? Why do these keys keep them from doing so? Do they even?

It's not like the source footage from Gokaiger where the Legend War happens before the series begins. Then as a result of the battle the sentai powers are scattered across the universe. Saban has re-written the show to seemingly have their version of the Legend War as the finale, where it would appear the rangers band together to fend off the armada for good. But that means nobody lost their powers for the keys to even exist in the first place.

Not that SMF or PR in general is really following along with things they've said in the past but didn't Dino Thunder try to tell us that the Morphing Grid could only handle one ranger of each color at a time? I mean, we've seen that isn't true often enough but they did say something to that extent. They also said that when each Ranger does their thing they give their memories (any powers?) into that meteor thing. Neither of these things were true when they met up with Ninja Storm so I don't see why it would effect anything now. Especially with the different companies. Would have been an easy thing to say that all the past rangers have had their powers converted to the keys at some point for reasons.
