Actually they are held pretty highly there. I've mentioned it before but not in this thread. Zyuranger revolutionized sentai in design, style and execution. Mecha suits gained better depth and detail, casting the old flat cardboard look of their predecessors. The 6th ranger dynamic was fully introduced after the brief X1 Mask from years earlier died after a single episode. The costumes tried something very different from the previous couple seasons as well.

Zyuranger is beloved by Japanese fans overall and still highly regarded by them for it's themes and action. That's a big part of why it was featured for Akibaraanger Season 2 and whether US fans would like to admit it or not a huge factor in the figuarts being released as well. Perhaps not the deciding factor but just as big a deal as the Power Rangers connection here.
