Because the Ukaku´s got so many serious disadvantages going for them that they´re pushed to press themselves harder to survive and not end up as food?

Having a handicap like limited stamina creates a need to improve and overcome that obstacle for the sake of survival, sounds like a good reason to so many Ukaku ghouls gaining insane amounts of respect and power. They just don´t want to get eaten or seen as easy prey.

Think about it...

Rinkaku got their healing factor and multiple limbs, a clear advantage. They´re predators by nature and eat just for fun since they can recover from the majority of the harm thrown in their way... Cannibals common among their ranks.

Koukaku got their armor thing going for them and gives them an edge, most of those guys doesn´t seem to feel a need to improve themselves further, and the only really serious Koukaku that gained massive amount of power was a pacifist who turned into a kakuja by coincidence from its diet. The Koukakus are smug and think they can handle things as they are, hence the lack of powerful Koukakus...

Bikaku are aces, they´re so balanced that the majority of them can own other powerful ghouls just by a normal Bikaku and martial arts training alone, Just look at "Mustachi" and Nishiki, they´re badasses and they can dance with higher-up ghouls no problem.

The Ukuku have every reason to improve and are at the bottom of the food chain, hence why many rises to the top to avoid that fate. They got the most reason to evolve.

...

I personally would enjoy to see a powerful Koukaku ghoul besides Arata join the rooster and with the upcoming arc´s set-up, we might have got another mighty Koukaku ghoul join the frame in form of "Gourmand"... the starving heartbroken Shuu.

Just my thoughts though...
