Simple as that. Sure, it's fine if you think she can be this way, but there are Index fans and people just realizing that the great Index appears for 1/4 of the series and still tries to be a heroine in the OP/ED or something of that sort.

And on a more story-focused view, Index isn't any better, leeching off of Touma and biting him instead of giving him thanks or what she should.

I agree. There is no point in her having to do more as she'll prob serve as a reference source for Touma like in this ep. There's at lease one more mage to go so she'll prob be more active then. Plus there has to be a relationship development with those 2 since they are living in the same apartment. She is also suppose to be in hiding. So doing more would be counterproductive to that part of the storyline.

I suspect it's just a case of the producers knowing their audience. They probably think (correctly) that the audience wants to see more of Misaka than Index. They're just giving the people what they want.
Given that the real fanservicey shots have been of Index and not Misaka, I think that the audience wants to see more of Index.

They've already seen most of Kaori now.
