Your personal dislike for him has no bearing on his relevancy.

Whether he's won a billion races or not doesn't matter. When you're at the back of the grid you aren't part of the main story. The point of TV coverage is to deliver the main narrative to the viewer - something plato is not part of anymore. He once was (but he still got a disproportionate amount of interviews), but no longer is.
When Jason is back at the front (if he ever does) then he'll get interviews. When he's not, he'll get as many interviews as everyone else who finishes sub 20th position. Even logistically, you don't send Louise to the back of the grid for one driver when everyone else you need to speak to is 20 positions ahead.
