Might have been hardcodded into the game before it became clear Splatoon would become such a big success, to avoid waiting entlessy in the lobby waiting for other players. Probably also the reason why the map selection rotates every 4 hours. I do hope however that Nintendo will change this so you can choose between the ranked modes instead having to wait 4 hours for it.

Oh, and while they're at it: add them to non-ranked matches, too.
