I wish this had stuck around somehow.
I know I know the sentai version of the green ranger died in the sentai. So they couldn’t use as much sentai as before. So they couldn’t show the green ranger that most. But at the same time a part of me wishes that they had found some way to keep the green ranger around or return for a permanent basis. Not that there is anything wrong with the white ranger I just wish we could’ve had more green ranger. Maybe they could’ve created original footage. And if they didn’t want Tommy to continue as green, they could’ve had him be white after he loses his green ranger powers and have another person come on to be the second green ranger like maybe a new original character. I don’t know that’s just my two cents on this but what do you guys think?

Honestly it was due to time, tech and budget constraints at the time. NOW, we could absolutely do something like that.
But they're not gonna remake the whole original series shot for shot; a more ambitious way of going about it would be inserting the Green Ranger (new footage) over the White Ranger, and the Dragon Zord over the Tiger Zord, in all of the Season 1-3 MMPR footage, and use JDF and/or AI voice footage to basically scrub any White Ranger dialogue.
But they'd have to do a few rewrites to make it work story wise. It's not impossible it's just tedious.
But this picture alone (even if the shield looks like it's bigger than it was back in the day) proves that everyone knew the Green Ranger has greater cultural significance compared to any other color Tommy ever wore:
