After all, that's kind of what Shinji was all about. While definitely one of the most naive and more foolhardy main Riders, he wasn't exactly thinking that the world was perfect before he ran into his first Mirror Monster. He was a journalist; albeit a rookie and an assistant in his field, but he was still seeing every day what other terrible shit was happening in the world and even if he was doing it one minor step at a time, he was always trying to do what he felt was the best way to help people. He was always a hero trying to do his best in this world; Rider Deck or not.

I think that's a really nice way to look at the ending. Great insight!
