It's because the Once-ler fandom was its own huge and really weird cultural phenomenon which is now looked back on with haughty disgust and is meme'd to hell and back. Once upon a time he was popular enough to at least be acknowledged in crossover fics, but now a lot of people are embarrassed to include him in anything.

Once-ler fandom aside though, he's a fun character, and I was always happy to see him in crossovers even if he was usually a minro character.
