To me it's not whether the character in-context has an excuse etc. How freakin important is Kami for having made the dragonballs in the first place? But do people scream for a SHF release of him? It's the fact that on a meta level, tien and yamcha just aren't important characters within DBZ. Any character could've done any of those things. Whereas in Dragonball, because they have their own arc (well mostly Tien has), they actually become a character instead of just a helping hand that happens to be those guys, because why let new people do it if Dragonball established them already.
Though arguably Tien still has a few of his characteristics left in DBZ like his friendship with Chaotzu vs Nappa and his tri-beam stalling Cell. But Yamcha offers absolutely nothing unique in DBZ he's basically 'z-fighter number 4' (as in, henchman nr 1, henchman nr 2 etc). He could've been anyone, yamcha's not a developed character at all. He was the first "villain" in DB and that was cute and for some reason Toriyama kept him around, cause well... why not? Now that he's there... But even in Dragonball he essentially has no relevance whatsoever after he and Bulma break up.
He was basically just there as a counterpoint to Bulma and the first person for Goku to fight. I'd buy him too if he gets his Cell attire, just cause, but a priority he's definitely not. Not to me and not to the line either I'd say. Tien has way more relevance and even he has little when it comes to the main DBZ plot. They're remnants from DB.
Just ftr I have no problems with Tamashii making them myself, but I could see why others would at this stage. And I just don't see 'm doing it.
