Perhaps it wasn’t a big enough impact on BoJack for him to be there.
He was out of his gourd and ‘Stamos’ was a stranger. He didn’t even care enough to know his real name and losing someone in water is different from being confronted with their dead body.
It’s a fair question. We assume Corduroy Jackson Jackson is there because BoJack feels some responsibility for his death but what if it was only or more so because he was the one to find and be traumatized by his dead body?
With Stamos would BoJack have felt responsible? Would he have stayed long enough for the body to potentially wash ashore (if it ever did) and see it or would he just leave when Stamos fell beneath the waves and didn’t resurface?
From a storytelling point of view it also wouldn’t make sense for Stamos to be in his death dream because BoJack knows nothing about him. How would his mind invent Stamos’ dinner conversation or last after dinner act before falling through the door and into nothingness?
He wasn’t in The View From Halfway Down though, so did he really die?

He was also blackout drunk so probably doesn’t remember any of it anyway.
