No, I don't think that's it really. For one thing, they have to market not only the Eyecons but the Ghost Change series, which is kind of all about switching hoodies. With that in mind it would probably make more sense to push them to use each other's hoodies more. And I doubt Bandai/Toei really care about the sound situation with the Driver. They gave Pythagoras to Specter and it has 100 percent Ghost sounds. (sure, hbv, but still).

Marketing may indeed still be the reason he doesn't use him, though. They have more cause to advertise Nobunaga and Tutankhamun since their Eyecons are sold by themselves (kind of). On the other hand, there's little reason to push Edison since he comes with the Ghost Driver, which every episode already is advertising.

Either way, I do hope he uses him again soon. Otherwise it just means they went and made a special Specter Edison mask for a 10 second scene. With their budget, even that feels pretty wasteful...

None of which explains why he's not in the opening lineup though. They still have Edison prominently featured in his Eyecon collection at the end, so...just throw him in.
