How different do you think Kamen Rider would be if Ryuki didn't exist?

Really though, I'd say that the trend you describe stems more from an overall trend with toku than specifically Ryuki and mostly because of more anti-heroic characters being introduced, something that dates back as far as V3 if we're talking specifically Rider.
I'm kind of having trouble finding the right words to describe it, so I'm glad you're at least sort of understanding what I'm saying.
I guess I'm just a bit too confused about what exactly the question this thread is asking even is at this point. I never was good with speculation like this. I understand that a lot of the stuff in Ryuki was influenced by the times and/or derived from existing base concepts, but my whole perspective here is all of that is why Ryuki HAS to exist.
Like, we're pretending Ryuki didn't happen and then...? A show that's basically the same thing takes its place? Because that's just calling a rose by another name, right? I feel like every Kamen Rider show was directly inspired by something or another but does that mean they're not special?
Think about how often the concept/style/hero of a show is directly made to contrast with the last one in some way. Like, Gaim was a very deconstructive kind of show that tried really hard to gray its morality and they immediately followed it up with Drive, a show that played up the idea of Kamen Riders as real
heroes
in a way we hadn't seen in a while. It was even said in interviews they were going for a more Showa kind of flavor, as I remember.
There's a whole meta narrative going on with Kamen Rider and I think you could argue a
lot
of things in it were "inevitable" in some way or another.
