Because Super is all hollow fanservice and there are even less fans of them than there of the humans. AT made it clear that Goten and Trunks are still >> Kuririn in the Super Hero arc so their irrelevance isn't due to a lack of power or potential.
Gohan got enraged when Cell Max nearly killed Piccolo. It was just another glorified Gohan rage moment, that AT took advantage of to crank out another new form to sell toys with at Toei/Bandai's behest.
I agree that SSJ2 Trunks getting a magic near-Blue level power up after two sparring...
Gohan seemed shocked that Goku was even using SSJ2 despite seeing him use it's burst form like 2 minutes before he fought Dabura. He's a noob just like :shin

Ten years may be nothing to them but it is plenty of time to get stronger, especially since Super shows Boo getting stronger and his lifetime is infinite. Since Boos meter was nearly filled by the time Trunks fought Dabura, he had to have fought to deal damage and timeline shenanigans have made...
