Factions are likely included based on historical importance, gameplay reasons, and unique flavor.

Casse have a small amount of historical importance, but for gameplay reasons they are important and they certainly add unique flavor due to heroic units and reliance on chariots instead of cavalry.
Gameplay shouldn't and, in theory, isn't a consideration. By the team's admission in the past.

By your own admission, their entire role in history was defensive, and they show up 100+ years after the start date.

I don't think there's any comparison between the Greek city-states and the B.C. tribes of England in term of cultural development, addition to the historical record, and influence in world politics.
