He sat in the chair on “night watch,” broke the Prime Directive even.
My thought is that him being “Phase shift Harry” from mid season 2 onward, he had to put in the requisite time like a new cadet. He already has the training/knowledge and kept the rank he was at. However, regulations being what they are, he’s stuck at ensign for a while longer.
Broke the Prime Directive and didn’t end up as Captain? Wow, things certainly have changed / will change or whatever depending on when Discovery wants to set itself. Didn’t Burnham do that (or start a war) and make Captain like 10 minutes later for some hand-wavy reason?
Regarding the USS Discovery, started out a prisoner (life sentance) for comitting mutiny and worked her way up to captain somehow. Time travel and a redacted personnel file played a part. Eventually made admiral.

yeah, captains are always breaking the prime directive. harry doesn’t commit enough crimes to not be an ensign
