RF's true identity was one of, if not the most important storyline of the whole season. Savitar's true identity was only a 5 episode long storyline. You can't compare the two. The two most important storylines this season were Barry having to deal with all the problems he had caused because of his selfishness, and him doing everything in his power to prevent a bad future from happening. Those are the storylines the writers kept in mind when creating Savitar.
