The same can be applied to Hyper Muteki in Ex-Aid.
What helps keep things interesting is high stakes. And when the hero gets access to a powerful new ability that has no drawbacks, the normal form becomes obsolete.

The drawback doesn't always need to be life threatening, mind you. There's nothing wrong with having a drawback that could be overcome later on. Like Eiji managing to control PuToTyra by not letting pure instinct take the wheel. Just using the final form doesn't have to be a life or death situation, but just place some reason to not just use it forever.

In addition to simply being more interesting from a story point of view, it give an actual logical reason for the producers to keep the earlier suits around as a way of pimping toy sales.
