several possible explanations spring to mind e.g. frequency

Can't be that, as it runs about as often as London Overground does
through Shepherds Bush (which is included) which runs less often than
Southern between Croydon and Victoria (which isn't included).

speed,

Thameslink from Blackfriars to St Pancras is quicker than any tube
route between those stations.

hours of operation, usefulness, and levels of crowdedness - I imagine
the decision to omit them out was an amalgam of several
considerations.

More likely to have been because it made an already crowded part of the
map even harder to read. These days, it's also excluded for stupid
political reasons - namely that it's not run by TfL.
