Interesting observation. I don't know why Joe didn't set Bill up with something lucrative but here's my guess. Bill always adamant that he decided to join "the life" and that his father was against it at first. Maybe as a father, he was not going to reward him for rebelling. Maybe he thought, if you wanna be in the life, you're gonna really be in it. Bill was not a criminal, he should have just stayed out west and never except Consigliere. I think he really wanted to be in the thick of things. That's the only way he thought, he could be respected is by imposing himself in the hierarchy. Especially since Joe was losing his hold on the Family by mid-60s. I still believe if Galante or Joe Diamond wasn't in prison, the Bananas War may not have happened.
When it comes to Profaci, I more meant, he was more "open minded" to deal with other Italians and a more dangerous element within his Family.

I think both Profaci and Bonanno was masterminds at what they did, and VERY capable mafiosi. Both VERY respected. They were powerhouses. The Gallo brothers were clearly screwballs, all of them. Because although they may have had valid complaints, you see they couldn't get along with anyone. NO good. Thats why Joe Gallo got clipped in the end. He was a bit whacky, and full of himself.
Natale Evola, Nicolo Alfano, and a few other old-timers is where this family should have gone. The Bonanno's would have been in great shape. IMO
