The Quiz arc received an explanation... in the official site. Apparently the script had a scene explaining it, but the director (Ghost's) for some reason decided to cut it.

Basically, because the Ride Watch was created in the past, it couldn't erase Quiz because the only reason he was in the past in the first place was because he was a Rider, so if his Rider history had been erased and he never went to the past, the Watch itself also would be erased.

The current case seems different though, and I don't think there has been an official explanation yet, although the characters did note in the Blade arc that these Another Riders are different due to being created in the present rather than the series' year and the official site just said it was a paradox.

Edit: I just read about the Shirakura explanation above, I hadn't seen it yet.

Shirakura seems to see everything as completely separate from each other, but even the staff under him doesn't seem to work like that, considering how Sogo got the Kuuga and Double Watches from the movie that Shirakura claimed to not feature the Sogo from the tv show.

Will there ever be episodes where Sougo return the powers to Kamen Rider's proper owner, to give us a total Heisei Kamen Riders Finale against Ohma Zi-O? Let's just wait and see.

I think that's likely happening towards the ending. Don't forget the early tease about a battle with Riders from all around the timeline. Some of the guest Rider actors (Sento, Beast and now Kenzaki and Shouichi) and the future Riders also didn't get flowers, so we probably will see them popping up again at that point.
