Aren't you aware of the fact that Jason had anger issues, was an orphan on the streets and was more reckless than Dick? Keep in mind that they revised his origins at some point. Even before Dick became Nightwing DC would've gone bankrupt if they killed him off. You underestimate him severely. You didn't even go into their relationships with Batman and I find it hard to believe Stephanie was in that costume long enough to even qualify for that list. Dick and Bruce had an understanding since they both lost their parents in a similar way. The others don't quite have that. Jason had issues from the start, Tim had to work ridiculously hard to get Batman to accept another Robin after what happened with Jason and Damian is actually biologically related to Bruce so he's been trying to get Bruces acceptance and approval far more than the others ever had. Oh and need I point out he was known as Robin for decades, much longer than the others have? There's a reason they took so long to have him leave the Robin mantle behind and have someone else succeed him.
