I mean Jaune has had more focus and development than most other characters in the show and we got a formal introduction to Jaune before Blake and Weiss (granted both appeared before Jaune but we didn't get to know them until later whereas Ruby got to know Jaune mre in that very episode. Sidenote: We actually see Jaune right from the first episode as the "Vomit Boy" meaning he actually debuted in the series before Weiss and Blake). Jaune also has been called out by Tyrian as "interesting" and V4 shifted to have Jaune travelling with Ruby, the show's main protagonist, and thus gave more focus to him.

Honestly at this point in the series, it's hard to argue that Jaune is somehow less of a main character than the titular girls. He's had about as much screentime as the RWBY girls, has probably changed that most from V1 out of any character in the show (with Weiss being a close second), and has a deep personal conflict with the villains (and some could even say Ozpin and his followers) that throws him right into the main plot, whether you like it or not.
