My guess for why the Musou Saber was dropped is because Ryouma realized the armor provided it's own weapons and/or it was to costly for Yggdrasil to mass produce with every belt. Remember, the Driver is meant to be post apocalyptic survival gear designed by a corporation. A corporation is going to go with the most cost effective model, which is Kurokage. It uses a common Lockseed and the belt is the cheapest to make.


In the real world, Bandai wanted Gaim to have a sword in every form as his main weapon. Zangetsu has one because he wouldn't have a melee weapon otherwise. It's not cost effective to give every Rider a sword when they already have a different main weapon, so no other riders have them otherside of movies and specials.

So Yggdrasil = Bandai. Got it.
