Kubo suddenly realized that people actually noticed that his "finally killed a good guy move was just BS since Sakakibe was so minor that he tried salvaging the situation by retconning and making him secretly powerful.
I think that's how Kubo's been working fora while now, probably thinking the plot as it goes along rather than planning it.
If Kubo hadn't shown Sakakibe being useless, I believe most people would go "ah that's nice, wish I could have seen him fight" but the man was completely owned against a bare handed Ichigo that just figured out how to do Bankai, yet Kubo said he learned Bankai before the oldest captains. He never showed his bankai to anyone...well that's cool but Ikaku and Renji put up a better fight than him too.
If Sakakibe had been the guy that stood behind Yamamoto but never lifted a finger, people would have accepted him being captain class much better.
