Yammy is every bit as significant as any other broken character that isn't ridiculously popular. Yammy was one of the first Espada that Kubo conceived, so you can't say that he just "ran out of ideas."

Saying that a plot line should be resolved in the same arc as it was started is ridiculous - how would one arc flow into the other? With your logic, Ichigo would have had his Hollow powers before even going into the Soul Society, and Aizen would have been stricken dead there and then after being revealed as a traitor.
