I'm mostly just speculating. Jimbei was probably the most likely of any character to be a new member. From how much he's helped everyone, to how powerful he is, to how popular he is, and even the cover of the fucking 64th volume, nobody else seems to be more qualified than him.

I'm not bitter about his exclusion at all. I just sort of think that if he can't make it, then I doubt anyone else can.
