Is one of the reasons because Bleach has such a massive cast each with their own unique personality and background creating the oppurtunity to go into any one of those for a major plot followed by the introduction of even more unique characters? Just a guess haha.

Bleach's plot does have potential, but it's risky because you don't know where that potential will lead. Naruto and One Piece's plots feel fairly stable (to me) and planned so there's no risk that either are going to hit a wall, but you just never know with Bleach.
