I wouldn't call them hideous, I personally like them better than Suite. And I repeat, forget about Toei trying something new, at least with Precure the setting and such changes at each iteration.
Last time they "tried something new" (that was in the pre-One Piece days mind you) they got a movie that completely flopped and a series (Cutie Honey F) that flopped as well due to the fame the original still had. They had a terrible time since the beginning of the 2000s so they won't take risks at all.
