Some of those *are* main protagonists. They have their own video games where theyre the main characters. The only one of your list that hasn't been a main character in something is Zubamon.
see, like, including videogames is hard because it feels like a huge amount of Digimon aren't eligible if we go there. I love Mamemon but he canonically has Mameo, I love Coronamon but he canonically has Koh. But I also am Mameo and Koh when I play their games so are they more my partners or theirs? It's just all so restrictive and subjective

To be fair, the terms taken literally are less restrictive than the OP makes it sound, considering that a lot of the humans are Tamers instead of Digidestined.

Well tbf, whilst mameo is a main character his mamemon isn't as it appears in one cutscene in DW1 and one battle in next order. Coronamon would count tho.

And really, Tamers with proper partner Digimon only really started with redigitize. Ones where the Digimon actually talk as proper characters

Still my point was to dispute that guy saying those Digimon weren't MCs. They are, the main characters of their own games. Every game does it now with like 8 MC each usually with even the protag having his own partner
