There are a lot who aren't from the show because Hasbro is re-generating a lot of G3 characters.

Also, just because they're not in the show now, it doesn't mean they won't be someday. Blossomforth was once just a G3-to-G4 toy.

We already have about 26 blind bags that look like minor characters from the show, excluding repeats. It is unlikely that this was made randomly.

Also, blind bags ARE really lousy, but that's because they're supposed to be cheap. If you compare blind bag Cherry Berry with brushable Cherry Berry, you'll see the brushable is practically flawless. Eye color and cutie mark were re-adjusted to look exactly like what they do in the show, and they use a proper vector for Cherry Berry, rather than re-coloring Pinkie Pie. And Daisy even had her eyes adjusted to have the right shade of green.
