Hodor always had a small minor role that was kept brief but interesting. Obviously they skipped a full season with the Bran story, but you never rolled your eyes when Bran and Hodor got some screentime in season 4, and now in season 6, it was always an interesting story, albeit one that didn't quite make much sense.
Its obvious that the writers are capable of interesting stories, but they are also capable of not so interesting stories that get way more screen time than they should.
Hodor didn't get more or less than he should have. He got what was needed to tear people up in the last episode. That is what we all want. Not random Sand Snake BS.
Even Sam's story, who I think got a little too much screentime and is an annoying character in general, wasn't as bad as the Sand Snakes storyline.
