They wanted all 3 native nations to play differently. The Sioux added a cavalry based faction which AoE III was kind of missing. Not to mention they likely wanted the campaign to feature the new additions which would have been very difficult for the Inca. They would have to come up with a pretty convoluted reason for the black family to travel to South America and stay there for an entire campaign.

Also though the Inca resisted for long the politics are very one-note. Unlike the Iroquois who had extremely complex politics. They also left a very significant legacy.

I do agree though that it would have been fun to draw attention to such an obscure civilization. However creating a story around them would have been very hard. That's likely also the reason the Aztecs don't feature in the main story. However they had quite a large role in Blood so that's a little more acceptable.

The Inca, though strong were nothing more than a hinderance to the Spanish.
