Being focused from Anna's POV doesn't really matter. It doesn't stop you from learning about thing about him. You also learn about triplet's past mainly from from her viewpoint too, but didn't affect the amount of detail got about them.

All characters pasts except Subaru and Emilia are subplots. This includes Ex stuff. None of them are important or necessary to understand the main story and Tappei easily could have not written them at all if he felt like it. Ricardo is never going to be treated like Willhelm becasue almost anything having to do with his past does not intersect with the story.

Also what characters got on the cover has had little to do with poplaurity. Rem is for exaple is most liked character in the series but she has only been on the cover once. The who gets on the cover has been part of specific theme or importnace to rhgar part of story. Putting Ricardo over Archbishop is pointless given happens and forfills neither of the two mentioned critera. It would just be random and would not reflect the content because several get more focus in that volume  more than he does.
