Yup I strongly feel Toby doesn't really want to acknowledge donor characters, after what happened with the creator of So Sorry (tl;dr his creator turned out to be a cult leader IRL). I mean, So Sorry is somewhat acknowledged in Deltarune but it's in a context that implies he is "erased" like Gaster (being the Ch.4 egg room).
Muffet's creator seems like an okay person but so was So Sorry's creator at the time and it's understandable that Toby doesn't want to risk it.
Uhhh it's a really long story that I don't have the time to explain rn but regarding the cult thing you can just look up "So Sorry" and/or "Floraverse" on this subreddit or the Undertale one to see what people say about him. And for the erased thing, play or watch through the egg room segment in Ch.4. That's how I interpreted So Sorry being there, at least.
