One point that is walked around is Shoen Jump itself. It’s a giant brick of a magazine. New stories featuring new characters can be printed in it without the publisher taking any risks. People buy it for the popular series. If the new stuff takes off good, otherwise they are replaced

Compare that to the US model where a new character has to go into its own comic book. The publisher is taking a risk printing the book and the buyer is risking their money on an unknown quantity. Those risks are going to stifle any chance of the character being published or seen.
