Literally every Rider series is about the main hero putting their desires aside for others. I would even go so far as to say that every Rider series to date (although Geats' is debatable, but the show isn't finished yet so it doesn't really count), has had a pivotal moment in which the Rider has to set aside their personal wants in order to achieve what objectively needed to be done.
I don't think this is true though? Sure, Showa-era leans heavily into the "The hero wants a normal life, but can never have it so is doomed to fight forever" melodrama, but Heisei shows are more about heroes whose desire is to help people, or to achieve a better world, and fight in service of that desire against monsters who would ruin it. Shotarou and Philip, for exampl, would still be detectives even if the Dopants vanished without a care. Gaim and Geats are all about people fighting for their own desires to make their own version of happiness come true.
