Yeah, this one... they really didn't have anything new to say about Fuwa? Dude's arc is pretty much A to B to C, and he's sort of anti-introspection, so what else can you do but make a Greatest Hits special?

It's incredibly funny that they redubbed Fuwa's mental torture at the hands of Naki/ZAIA into him feeling bummed out that he isn't a very effective Kamen Rider, and maybe could use a new job. That's such a bonkers ending!

That's certainly a more direct and economical solution to weeks of no new episodes. I wonder how much of Zero-One's decision-making was about trying to maintain momentum as they rounded the corner into their final act(s)? That, or just goofing around to alleviate lockdown boredom. We all took up new hobbies, you know? Some people started doing puzzles, or got real into home repair. The Zero-One producers made clip shows.
