Maybe. Basically, I think Shinn was chosen due to his "SEED" factor about which Dullindal knew. Pretty much everything, from his position in ZAFT, through his release from prison despite the obvious treason (sending back Stellar) to being assigned as FAITH member he owed to the Chairman, really. Asuka was a talented and superb pilot, but ultimately failed as a soldier on many disciplinary grounds. Still, it was his anger and drive for vengeance that made him go on with fighting so I think the producers wanted to focus on that. There were just too many ways to explore this character, but they were wasted for the old cast which brought nothing new in return. Just the same old crap about eternal peace and not siding with any hate-fueled side. etc etc.
