It is strange to see people complain about "moe" in a game that has been riding the moe bandwagon at it's forefront from the start. It is the moe girls that attract most people to the game, I don't think it is that strange that the girls who are often considered the most moe are receiving most of the seasonal arts (arguable if the most moe girls have all actually received a seasonal CG though).

Also, you should take a note of the artists and ship girl's rarity when complaining about the fact BB/CV/CA haven't received much in the way of seasonal CG. Some artists simply don't seem to do any seasonal CG for some reason or another, and devs for the most part seem to avoid the most rare ship girls (though there are a few expections, such as Mizuho).

For BB for example, Kongou-class artist Konishi hasn't drawn a single seasonal CG yet, and that guy has a bunch of DD he has drawn too (Asashio and Kagerou-class). Shizuma Yoshinori (Nagato and Yamato-class) hasn't drawn a single seasonal CG either even with some other ship types within his works such as DD, though that may be because almost all the girls he has drawn are fairly rare. Shibafu, the artist of Ise-class has not drawn a single seasonal CG yet either. After that, the BB that are left are Fusou-sisters, Bismarck, Italia and Roma. Fusou-class have received seasonal lines fairly often, but it is hard to comment on them, with their artist being someone who hasn't drawn any other ship girls. I suspect Fusou-class may be the most likely ones to receive a seasonal CG sometime soon though (just a hunch). Bismarck is a LSC-exclusive and it has been pointed out, his artist Humikane is famous and probably quite busy (Z1 did receive a seasonal CG, but thinking about it, she is the only german ship girl every player is 100% sure to get). Italia has a CG even though she is currently unavailable, but she was a reward from one of the easiest events in Kancolle history and probably quite many players had her during summer. Roma is an event-drop only and fairly rare.

The above is similar for CV too. Anyway, my point is not many of the ship girls out of BB and CV are likely to receive a seasonal CG when going by the two points, rarity and a ship girl's artist. If someone like Konishi suddenly started to draw seasonal CG of Asashio-class DD, then I too would question "why not the Kongou-class?", but the thing is, he for some reason hasn't drawn anything yet or simply hasn't received any work aside from Kai Ni CG.

As for CVL and CA, 4 CVL already have received a seasonal CG, which is almost 50% of the whole ship type. I'm really surprised no CA has received a seasonal CG though, as there are plenty of active artists for that ship type and not many rare ship girls. There really is no logical reason why a CA hasn't received a seasonal CG, but I believe that day when CA will start receiving seasonal CG too will come soon. Anyway, I digress, I went on for long enough.
