Well... simple question:

What if Mado survived his fight with Touka and Hinami? He would be a main character now. What if Tsukiyama died back then against Touka? He would NOT be a main character anymore.

Don't focus on terms like "main character" and all that. Main characters are main characters because they managed to survive for enough time. So obviously there aren't many examples for main characters who are dead comparexd to dead minor characters. The minor characters are minor because they died already. If Ishida wouldn't have killed Ryokou or Mado, they would be main characters now too. And what if he killed Ayato, Amon or Juuzou a short time after they've been introduced? You wouldn't consider them as main characters anymore.

I hope that answers the question.
