The cut did not happen (only) because of laziness or lack of time.
The main reason is the commercial strategy in which Pokémon HOME becomes a hub for all the upcoming games, which will each get as artificial selling points the roster of available mons. All while parts of your collection remain trapped in the HOME prison until the next compatible game liberates them.
