Please note that I haven't finished watching Gurren Lagann. Kamina's death was as far as I got. When I watched it I saw him as a Major supporting character bordering on Deuteralogist, but I never saw him as thee major character. I thought he was on the same level as Yoko or Rossiu. If so then I don't want to spoil it, but yeah Simon actually came into it later. As a side note I highly advise to finish it, it's one of the best anime I have ever watched.

I mean they are the title picture for DecoyProtagonist on Tv Tropes. Most people didn't realize he was until Kamina's death. So it's quite possibe that the Crewby decide that they want to follow it later in the story rather than later. They have the experience in doing it, with their philosophy of 'We'll make a show so long as people want it'.
