It's because of plot.
Kishi was gonna make Naruto as the only protagonist, but after speaking with his editor about the future of the series, he was advised to create a rival character for the series' protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, which resulted in Sasuke's creation.
Where does Sakura fit into all this then ? She has no value yet she remains a main character :|
