It's taken 500 chapters for Uryu to get a promotion to a worthwhile character that he should have been from the start, so I'm not surprised Kubo is wasting Orihime. Fullbringer arc was the perfect time to mkae them worth something, but like Kishimoto with the Konoha 11, Kubo wastes the rest of Ichigo's friends. Hell, even Rukia gets sucky treatment from time to time.
