Because simply: Piper is a pointless character.

The reason Rick created her is, he thought that Piper can be usefull to prove people to, children of Aphrodite are not useless and they're powerfull too.

But, this intention was back-fired, because Riordan only made Piper as powerfull, when he made all other children of Aphrodite as useless. The way Riordan's portray Piper is, he simply tried to make her as strong, smart and sefless and so much different from the Aphrodite kids, but this only proved that other Aphrodite kids are even more shallow, stupid and useless, when they compared to the Piper. Do you understand what I mean?

For example is Drew, Riordan did try to portray her as one-dimensional character, she has no real personality. She was just there because of only one reason; Make Piper to better person. How silly plot is that? While most of the readers buys that BS, most of them realized the truth and they weren't fooled by this plot.

Riordan did portray other Aphrodite kids as useless, shallow and stupid again, while he makes Piper as so much different from them. He makes Piper as only exception. He made Piper to only one who is powerfull and usefull Aphrodite kid.

There are plenty of examples why Piper is a pointless character. The way she use her power, the way she acts and thinking, the way how every character sees her as complete good and fair one, and always right and selfless one, which in the reality Piper is selfish, shallow, stupid, obsessive as hell. And more of, hypocrite. She is the biggest hypocrite in the series, and even Drew is better than her, because she, at least, is not hypocrite, Drew acts like herself, she doesn't try to act like a selfless angel. While, Piper tries to act like one, even if she is not. Hypocrite.

When I read to books, I honestly surprised the fact that, how any of the characters doesn't realize this fact? How no one ever realizes Piper's true-self?

Mind. Blown.
