Haruhi isn't the focus because this isn't about Haruhi; this is about SOS-dan.

The first novel had been all about Haruhi, but because of that the Sos-dan was a "dan" in name only; there was no cooperation between the factions.

A decision had been made by the author to make Sos-dan the final result of it all. Haruhi will no longer be the sole focus, but she will now always be there as Sos-dan's leader. This was necessary for new rivals/enemies to be introduced.
