I think it could be because he doesn't usually fight at full power (see Monster Association arc) and even seems reluctant to show it (Okame-chan), so the Hero Association did not assess it properly. Leaving Saitama's and King's cases aside, the same could be said about Sweet Mask (still Monster Association arc), he held his own against an opponent that easily defeated Atomic Samurai, who has higher battle stats. Even Atomic Samurai revealed he thought Sweet Mask to be much weaker, which means the association at large might be unaware of it too. Also, they knew nothing of his superpower.
