They made Kung Lao, Liu Kang and Kitana playable, but they have the same participation in Story Mode as Sindel, Baraka and Rain (you fight against them exactly two times each), and also at least Baraka and Rain are alive, so as Sindel has exactly the same participation as the other three and Baraka and Rain are not mindless revenants, they should be playable. I know those revenants are fan favorites and main characters since the beginning but stil... It's kind of unfair to bring back just a few characters from the possessed ones and also make a DLC from just one of other kombatants in the same situation (I love the idea of Tanya's DLC but Baraka and Rain have the same participation as her). Well, I don't like these three at all, in fact I hate Baraka and Sindel, but that's all the unfairness I feel for them in the roster. I don't even have to reply because you answered yourself, but...

Kitana, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao made it in because they're fan favorites and have been in the story since the beginning (well, close to the beginning). If we saw them in the story, fightable and all, but not playable, we would all die. We're obviously okay with Sindel, Baraka, and Rain, though, because they're simply not as important or special enough (at least as the former three).

And, to be fair, Baraka was only in the story to be killed.
