They're just interested in a different variety. In the US, one in five people is black. In Japan, 97% of the population are Japanese, and the most numerous minorities are Chinese and Koreans. At the same time, it is impossible not to notice that tokusatsu is also becoming more diverse, for example, more and more women and actors over thirty appear in the shows, because this make sence for a country of centenarians with a predominantly female population (though not as much as in my homeland). So my point is that in the era of Reiwa, we will definitely get a female main rider, but I am sure that she will not be Gotchard.
P.S. And in spite of my predictions, Toei will decide to start next era with the first female main rider.
