We know the gist of how Granute society works with an emphasis on how the ruling class play their little power games and how the peasants get pulled into them and we see the mechanics of how the Stomachs run their machine and the efficiency they ran it with for the past decades without human society ever really picking up on it save some fringe weirdos. That's already more than the regular old trouble in Tokyo setting. We do see bits of Sachika and Hanto's social circles and the influence both of them have through their chosen roles in society. You nitpick on law enforcement, personal lives and management systems but how often does the first even come up the in past franchise entries and how much more of the latter actually needs to be explored for the benefit of the story?

You forgot Jeep. He's been so pathetic it's brilliantly funny. Compare that to the villains of the riders since Build. How many of them are brought up after their series? No one brings up any from Zi-O, Saber and Revice because they were either absolutely forgettable or people just want to forget them entirely. People bring up Gai because of how shit he got to be, Kekera for being an edgefag and Lachesis because dick. Lango's reaction stuck out because of the humor but that's not all that makes him memorable. The Stomachs are also defined through their relationships with the heroes. Shouma goes without saying, Hanto was set up by both Suga and Nyelv and Lakia was drafted by Nyelv and took revenge on Glotta. When people remember the show in the future they're not going to have to struggle to remember what their deal was unlike say the muscleheads Saber started out with.

And if it seems like I'm a Takahashifag that's only because you're putting others in a box instead of recognizing the shows he wrote for were just better than the other ones I was comparing them to. Zi-O, Saber, Revice and Gotchard were outright crap and I say that as someone who actually liked the Zi-O cast.
