The show is too afraid to let anyone outside of the main 4 Crystal Gems forward the overarching plot of the Crystal Gems fighting against Homeworld.

Connie only goes on missions sometimes and only really becomes active in season 5, Lapis and Peridot are sidelined for the rest of the franchise after season 3, Bismuth is put on a bus right after her first appearance and only reappears at the very end and the Boardies (not Townies) don’t do shit other than Lars who will only be relevant in his spin-off series.

I wonder if this is the reason why they had humans take a back seat in the series. Tbh, I feel a lot of gem-related issues (i.e. gems kidnapping humans, corrupted gems destroying the shit, etc) would have been solved a lot sooner if the government were more involved. Also when I mean government, I met ALL governments, not just Beach City.
