Huh! I hadn't noticed. Thanks!

I think its prevalence in Kamen Rider is that each season/series has to tell a complete story, where the hero defeats the villain(s) at the end and restores balance/justice/safety/love/Takumi to the world. It's a book, and a book has to work towards an ending. In longer-form series, multi-season genre stuff, they aren't built to end, so there's no significant pressure to keep escalating the plot. You can do a single episode that follows a supporting cast member, or an episode about some aspect of the workplace (for example) that went previously unexplored. If Saber took an episode out from Storious and Isaac plotting to destroy the world, and told a quick one or two-off story about a kid who needs to believe in storytelling, it'd probably feel jarring and poorly placed. Pacing-wise, it'd almost be a waste of time to do something more grounded and less superheroic.

But that doesn't mean I have to like it!
