Yes, but Japan is an aging nation with a predominantly female population. That is, every year the number of elementary school-aged boys is getting smaller and smaller. And in order not to lose money, the franchise has to gradually flirt with other age groups.

What is it with people not being able to enjoy Rider for what it is, and having to pretend it's something far deeper and more serious?

Probably because their favorite shows were just deeper and more serious, so they want to experience something like that again. Another thing is that if we are talking about Faiz or Gaim, then the audience was noticeably younger and they had different concepts of "deep and serious". You cannot step into the same river twice, as Heraclitus said. In general, in Geats they just ridiculed a similar position in the image of Niram, screaming about realism in a delusional plot
