Not a plot hole, but quite a bit out of character.

You can use the past as motivation for your future goals, you know? In fact, the Jyamato-Tohru thing just proves that he's moving forward, considering that he could've just considered Jyamato-Tohru as the real one because it ostensibly had all the memories and even a scar the real one had. But he didn't, and only saw Jyamato-Tohru as a tool to stopping the DGP through his misguided idea of crushing Kamen Riders. He straight out says that Tohru is dead and he only saw the Jyamato one as a tool and nothing else, so how is that not moving forward?

I dunno, I don't think you need to constantly be outright stating or showing everything on screen. I feel like that would just be hand-holding to the audience.

We don't need to see Jitt manipulating the wish on screen, we know that it's possible for the wishes to be manipulated to the DGP's advantage because we've seen it with Girori influencing it so that only he and Tsumuri were now Ace's "family" with the wish in Encounter. If Ace's wish was fulfilled to the letter, every single staff member of the DGP should've become Ace's family. But it was only the two that he knew that on a personal level.

By the fact that Jitt stated that he was the Game Master of Bad Ends and our knowledge of previous skirting around wish boundaries, we can make the simple connection that he most likely had a hand in what happened.

It isn't poor storytelling as much as it is trusting the audience to at least remember a few details from previous episodes to make a reasonable connection, while also allowing them to make their own ideas as to what reasonably could've happened.
