Because there are thousands of episodes of long-running toku franchises, there's a lot more to draw from and take inspiration from. A lot of what people frame as homages and tributes, are just creative copies.

Meanwhile trying to write original or entirely new episodes for a show (especially ones with stringent internal logic and timelines) would definitely be hellish.
