I would imagine that giving a GL a small boost with a new toon is "easier" and therefore may happen over the next while rather than trying to keep the current pace of GLs, not to mention we will shortly run low on "GL worthy" characters.
I said it before - massive jumps in power creep hurt the game. CG have been backing themselves into a corner for a long time now. They taught players to expect the next big thing to significantly outperform previous big things. If they want to keep players hooked they need Epic GLs and Legendary GLs.
Power creep is fine but it needs to be slow and steady. Always replacing old meta with a new meta is a bad way to go about it. Look at how long and complicated the kits are nowadays - JMK = 790 words, JML = 637 words, SEE = 721 words. SEE gets two new abilities in his ultimate yet his kit is shorter than JMK's...
I doubt they are going to release a character to specifically boost SLKR's viability for example. They might release something that will benefit him (like SEE+armorer) but I don't think they would do it on purpose.
