Why has Ash never been offered a position as a member of the Elite 4?

Because it's more than just battling, they're supposed to be pillars of PokeSociety that encompass certain virtues. Virtues that Ash doesn't have.
or at least thats what my head cannon is

Red was probably offered the job, like Blue was, but he was like "Fuck that, you fools have lost your way."

So he set out his own stall.

Has he ever beaten a league formally? I know he was offered to be a Frontier Brain, but that's a little different.

I think in the anime it's

Conference League -> Elite Four -> Champion

Ash hasn't even gotten past the first hurdle (except Alola)

He defeated two Elite 4s (Raihan is E4 equivalent) not even a month ago

Because the Elite 4 is an actual paid job that has requirements. Ash is a fucking child who is constantly going out adventuring. Elite 4 is where those who are almost top tier battlers but not quite champion material go when they want to settle down and not rely on prize money and sleeping in tents. In exchange you have scheduled battles and are expected to attend events and be a pillar in your region’s battling community. Gym leaders same deal but one level below in terms of skill

At this point he’s been acknowledged as being top tier for his feats and exploits not a single position. The other champions are there for holding a specific regional title, Ash is there as a culmination of his entire career accomplishments

The current PWT feels very fanfictionish as in it's tailored specifically so that Ash could battle other regional champions without doing a proper GYM quest
After XYZ, there's no more logic in this show, you're thinking about this more than the writers

>gambling addict
Grimsely is all about humility and accepting defeat with grace
>"If somebody wins a battle, then, without doubt, someone else has lost the battle. That's the way of battle. A real warrior doesn't dash off in pursuit of the next victory, nor throw a fit when experiencing a loss. A real warrior ponders the next battle."

>the old bitch
She's just the hotheaded counterpart to Oak. Like the Blue to your Red. But she's mostly the experienced elder type which includes a lot of things

Didn't they offer him to be a Pyramid Brain? It's not like he would settle down and a take a full time job.

XYZ lol. The show stopped making much sense narrative wise as early as of the middle of Kanto.
