I think Salubri said it best: "bleach is a lot of fighting, what worth are characters who can't fight". Had Bleach have been a powerless manga that revolved around normal human beings, then naturally humans would be more appealing to me, but Bleach is not a manga revolved around normal humans. Now, I'm not saying that Bleach is all about Shinigami, but it is for the most part. And if Kubo takes a break from the Shinigami and the fighting to focus on the Humans and their normality then I start to get bored. I do agree that character development is important, but when you introduce characters as exciting as Byakuya or Yoruichi and then you try to take time to develop characters like Keigo or Tatsuki, it gets dry really quickly.
