Well, he didn't really "defeat" UM6 and UM4, both of those were joint efforts that included a pilar already fighting the demon. It's the same reason I don't think Inosuke or Kanao are going to be ascended to Pillar even though both of them basically defeated UM2, if only because he was severely poisoned by a Pillar already.

Zenitsu beating the new UM6 PROBABLY won't make him a Pillar either, since it was said that he only won because the UM was still inexperienced with the demon powers.

Him defeating UM3 once though, I could believe that one. But Tanjiro would need to get his act together and fast. Having explosive power is good for defeating strong demons when they are not focusing on you, and they let you power up only, if all of the 3 Pillars present in his 3 fights weren't already the highest threat in the bunch diverting all attention from Tanjiro, he would've died early, and in a flash.

He may be strong with the mark and the fire god dance, but he can only use them for a short time, if UM3 didn't basically give up then, he would have died because he ran out of gas.
