Shinkenger got the Ironmaru and Goseiger got Super Gosei Mode pretty early in their respective series. Would have made it a tad bit more epic if we got a Gokaiger Power-up instead of a once-off thing at the end. But I guess that would've made their power-up a bit 'over-powered'.
Gokaiger not having its own power-up doesn't bother me that much although it would have been interesting since it would have been cool if they took ideas from previous power-ups and implemented them all into a power-up.
However they clearly didn't want to make them seem too overpowered considering they had access to 34 different powers including some old zords and some power-ups.

Part of it I think has to do with the fact that people on both sides of the pacific associate green with things like bugs, and plants which are common monster types, forests which getting lost in is something that scares people, and not to mention radiation, and things that glow in the dark.
That's an interesting theory. Although I'm not sure if I entirely agree with it because of Loki/Zen-Aku in Gaoranger/Wild Force since he was turned into an Org so he should have green blood like all other Orgs do but he didn't, he was shown to have red blood.
