Zoro and Usopp both have dreams and goals they are actively seeking, so their role as a Straw Hat goes beyond just being a fighting member. I'm not against Carrot, but her wish to see the world pales in comparison to the dreams of the rest of the crew. Then again with the hinted addition of Jinbe maybe Oda is done with each member having an individual dream and now he is just highlighting Luffy's ability to draw people to the sea.
