I figure that some of the filler characters stayed in the show because they were in about half of the existing episodes at the point where it gets back to canon stuff, and it would have been incredibly awkward for all of them to disappear all of a sudden.
Also, I'll admit that I have nostalgia for some of the Bount arc even though it's definitely not good, so I kind of liked having the filler mod souls around.
Tite Kubo actually canonizes Bleach stuff from fillers and movies from time to time. Memories of Nobody is is directly referenced in Thousand-Year Blood War (both the manga and anime), I have a vague recollection of him saying Diamond Dust Rebellion is canon, and Katen Kyokotsu's spirits from the zanpakuto rebellion are canon.
Dragon Ball is the only franchise I know where the so-called "Uncanonical" stuff is still super important
People like to pretend it isn't, but GT Super Saiyan 4, Cooler & Friends are always there when it's time to sell something on a videogame
Compare to, idk, Naruto. Almost no one knows there is a Zero Tailed Beast in one of the movies
Then you have Bleach which introduces characters in filler who just don't fucking leave for the rest of the show

My Hero kinda? All movies are canon and characters from the movies are even put into the anime, plus Melissa has actually helped with some suits
