I almost always watch things subbed, but I actually sympathize with people who struggle with subtitles a lot. While I do prefer using original audio tracks, I also have trouble understanding speech when there is lots of background noise, to the point I always use subtitles even for stuff in English, and it sucks when there isn't a subtitle track available! So I feel bad for people who struggle with reading subs for one reason or another but don't have other options. Ideally any show or movie would have both options, but sometimes one or the other gets skipped over. Creating a sub track for a show might be considered pointless for something getting aired only for children, while at other times dubbing might be considered cost prohibitive for a show with a relatively small audience.
I think Tsuburaya is being smart by creating quality, faithful dubs while also offering the original subbed show. Gives them the widest reach and fans of either version are generally getting the same experience. Power Rangers... I think it is something of a relic I suppose. The rewritten and recast format of the show was the only way Sentai would be marketable in the States in any form during the 90s and 2000s, but culturally I think there has been a shift away from these sorts of heavily altered "regional" releases here. I just have a hard time seeing what niche it is even supposed to be filling at this point. No offense to any fans of course.
