Why did M'gann and Superboy break up? There were two new Robins since then? It's to keep the audience wondering and intrigued about what's going on. Sure, you could do that by covering those periods of time, but that's generic. The Young Justice team chose to take the unconventional, creative route. And the recent time skip was to catch up to the present day as much as they could that way they're able to tell stories that reflect the times we live in... like Superboy talking about why he watches Godfrey's show or meta-human trafficking being an analogue to sex trafficking in the real world, heck even Halo's story as a Quraci refugee.

Nothing about Young Justice is unconventional or creative. Nothing. As for telling stories that reflect the times we live in, great! But then they are doing a very piss poor job of it.
