Because they either don't know what to do with the others or they think its safe things to do. Even if they don't do it as well. Beast World is biggest thing the Titans have done in decades. You would never see something like that when Teen Titans was Tim "niche" because they literally wiped out most of Dick's Titans gen and erased him ever being a Titan so the Teen Titans could be Tim and his gen's "niche". But he wasn't actually doing anything they couldn't do with another Robin. Same with Babs. She's been sidelined not because of nostalgia but because they wanted to push Steph and Cass as Batgirls again, but Babs was the one with a movie in the works. So she still had to be Batgirl somewhere as insurance. That didn't really work out and so now the Batgirl brand is in half state of limbo a s whole. The same thing just happened to Damian. He was just sidelined so they could push Tim, though they didn't know Gunn wanted to use him so they didn't even bother to even stash him anywhere relevant.
And the reason Jason's stuck endlessly rehashing the same plot beats of UTRH over and over is because, like with what they do with Tim, its safe. Its the most likely take to be adapted. Where less traditional ideas like having lead a team of monsters die on the vine.
