Considering that the origin of the hero also is not revealed for a long time in Janperson, I think this is due to the commercial failure of the first Metal Hero show with the robot MC - Metalder. Apparently, Toei decided that the hero's introduction to the world and the inevitable making of mistakes is not very suitable for the tokusatsu genre and therefore subsequent shows began with fully prepared heroes. And their origin was revealed later, when the viewer had already fallen in love with them and therefore assessed them less critically.
P.S. I hope I haven't wandered into spoiler territory. If anything happens, I apologize and cover what is needed.
