Why aren't Bally and Saktigarh called Junctions even though two important routes HB Main and HB Chord merge/ bifurcate at these two stations?

I wonder why HWH Division and ER as a whole are hell bent on screwing up one of their NSG-2 stations, and yes, I am talking about Bardhaman Jn.
Neither of the two newly launched VBs is stopping at the second biggest station of HWH Division after departing from HWH!
22309 is stopping at a station like Nonihat which is unlikely to fetch any passengers at all, while subtly skipping BWN.
22303

is given 16 car trainset whilst it isn't terminating at either BSB,DDU or PNBE! Meanwhile it will directly be competing with one of ER's Shatabdi for patronage upto DHN.
Either or both of this trains should have been given a halt at BWN.
BWN maybe in the Kolkata Suburban Railway but the peculiar way it get's neglected is not seen in other metropolitan systems be it in Chennai or Mumbai!

Faced 2 overtakes on first commercial run itself. NJP Shatabdi overtook which is scheduled & now Vivek Express will overtake it ahead

It is obvious that this train will not be the same as of today in coming years as stops at Ahmadpur , Sainthia, Nalhati, Guskara , Murarai & Rajgram will be added by 2029 if Birbhum MLAs demand it.

Now Tebhaga express is safe from getting more halts ,many MLAs demanded back in 2021 & 2023 but only Murarai got it
