Funny enough that's apparently what Geats was meant to be since if I remember correctly there was an interview with Yuya Takahashi a while back where he stated that while Kamen Rider is well known in Japan, it's popularity doesn't seem to be increasing but instead is remaining stagnant. So when developing Geats he took influences from other popular media today such as (and I'm not kidding) Fortnite, Apex, and Squid Game to hopefully shake things up and make things more exciting. Also I believe there was mention that while the Riders do compete against each other, Takahashi wanted to put less emphasis on the Riders literally fighting each other since that's become sort of standard fair in Rider vs Rider shows/shows with a large amount of Riders.
