Actually it is the decision of the one who is in charge of the line, who wanted more main riders instead of secondaries (the same guy who started the Kuuga -> Gouram, Kabuto -> Zector thing).
The guy also has another request for the sculptors to make full use all the gimmicks. This is why there are so many power unleash forms for OOO, and beast forms for Wizard.
Gojima mentioned about the guy wanted Fourze's attachments to be able to combine into a shuttle or a tool when unused. That is one of the things that the design team are unable to achieve at this point (or the price will jack up to an unreasonable number).
Birth's CLAWs is pretty much the test to see if there is any pressure when the price range gets close to 10k.
