You're not looking at this from a big picture.
Firstly, there's only so many stories you can tell using two people before it starts to get stale.
Secondly, focusing on different characters allows you to explore options that your first two characters might not have access to.
And lastly, not everybody might like your main characters. Which is why you have multiple characters to draw in more people (and I don't mean just fanservice) and if people really like those other characters, they would want more focus on them as well.

In no way does Sugu's story become a main focus of the overall plot of the story this way.

Seriously, what more do you need from Kirito and Asuna in this story arc?
