Basically, with the advent of advanced medical technology and people who had to undergo surgery an obtain artificial limbs/organs to live, Toei decided to softly retire the idea of portraying people getting these artificial parts as the tragic "loss of their humanity" element in Kamen Rider stories.

They wouldn't drop the idea entirely as Blade, OOO, and Gaim all incorporated the idea of slowly becoming a Undead, Greed, or Invess. But things like saying a person's cyborg arm or leg tragically made them no longer a human? Yeah, that had to go.

I understand. But then there is another option: the android protagonist. Something like 01 but with humagear as the main character. At the same time, you can once again remind about Kikaider.
By the way, it turns out that the most inhuman rider (we don?t take Vice into account, he can?t become a human) of our time is the Ghost. Unlike the others who had the transformation at the end of their shows, Takeru is not human for most of his series and reflects on this.
