Though he is perhaps not terrible at being a Kamen Rider at this point.
I think a lot of it is how Tachibana's weird mix of Imposter Syndrome and Egocentrism make it difficult for him to work in a hierarchy, and probably contributed to his maybe not being the best choice of mentor for Mutsuki.
Tachibana is someone who is obsessed with his own experiences, to the point where he basically mythologizes his failures and successes. When he succumbs to his worst impulses, it's an epic tragedy. When he overcomes those same impulses and wins the day, it's a heroic triumph unequaled in human history. He doesn't... it's the Kotaro thing, where Tachibana doesn't really consider other people. He sees everyone as some player in his story, a reflection of his compelling struggles.
He can't really work in a group, because that would mean acknowledging that what other people want out of a collaboration has merit, or that his emotional journey might need to take a backseat. Him mentoring Mutsuki is bound to go slightly off-the-rails (or
catastrophically
off-the-rails) because the aid he's offering Mutsuki is down to Tachibana being reminded of his own similar emotions. He sees himself in Mutsuki, so he's willing to help Mutsuki. The less he sees of himself, the more Mutsuki creates his own identity, the more unhelpful Tachibana is to him.
And, like, I don't think this is villainous or anything! I don't think Tachibana means to be this way. I think he sees himself as a stoic, suffering hero, someone who is concerned with the greater good. It's just, his psychology affects him to such a degree that his options for working with others, for considering their needs, it's
intensely
limited.
