I think it's because Adam has no use for Castiel, nor was he really given the chance to actually forge a strong bond with his step-brothers. Adam, as a character, also does not seem to have much weight from the fanbase, for if he did, the writers themselves would make way for his return. We had 2 seasons now, going on 3, and a lot of opportunities for him to be pulled out of the cage. The writers do not seem to care about his character--as Adam was meant to serve only as a plot device for Michael to manifest on earth.

Personally, I am quite indifferent about that. It would be nice if he returns, that would highlight the show about being family--but then again, the show also went out of its way to say that family is not limited to blood, and just because you are related does not mean it is a guarantee to bring out the best in you (case in point, Michael and Lucifer). As of now, though--Adam's character offers nothing to the table. We already have Castiel and Benny building up their relationship with Dean, and, by extension, Sam. Garth is being poised to serve as Bobby's replacement (something Frank was also partially developed as). So I think chances are next to zero that Adam will return to the story.
