He's still a focal point of Smackdown though. Yes he's not in the main event scene right now, but that's got a pretty good storyline going on with Christian and Orton who are both poducing good matches. Do you want them to just throw Barrett into that feud for no reason? (Don't bother bringing up Sheamus and Henry being involved in the feud because if Barrett had either of those parts you would most likely complain about him being jobbed out to Orton and Christian too)
It's pretty obvious they're high on the guy, he doesn't need to be in the title hunt right now for that to be clear. Not every single guy has to be in the main event to be relevant and to be enjoyed.
