The rule of a Big Bad is more complex than you thought. I didn't play Resident Evil but I think a game is kinda equalled with a movie. The movie villains is kinda different than the TV shows.

In TV shows, the Big Bad does not need to be the most recurring villain, just a recurring and most important one (Bill appeared less than Robbie). And not need to played the central villain in each of their episodes (Bill is a minor villain in The Last Mabelcorn and Dipper and Mabel vs the Future).

If Oswell is the one was chased in for most of the game series, but he didn't appeared in most of them, then he is still the Bigger Bad. There's a difference between having less appearances than a villain and had too little appearance to the point that they almost having no direct appearance in the plot. But I didn't play the game.

The movie and game is kinda different. But, then again, I didn't play Resident Evil, so I don't know if Oswell is a Big Bad or not. I'm not his fan either. I mean Voldemort barely appeared in the first 3 books and movies, and he is the series' Big Bad as he made direct appearances in book 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and is the main threat. You have to ask Jester of Chaos. He knew this more than me. Yeah, I know, though Palpatine in the movies was definitely more of a bigger bad than a true big bad (he didn't even appear in the flesh until Episode VI, and even in the Prequel Trilogy, it was not apparent that Darth Sidious and Palpatine were the same guy until Revenge of the Sith).

Code Veronica was where it was changed to Wesker being the big bad of the series (obviously, due to his revival), and even THERE, Wesker was only an actual big bad in Resident Evil 1, Code Veronica, 5, and possibly Darkside Chronicles, though the last admittedly was more of a bigger bad.), though in Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, and even to some extent Code Veronica, Spencer was definitely the main antagonist since most of the characters were trying to go after him, and even in Resident Evil 5, the reason Chris and Jill were at Spencer Mansion was specifically to bring Spencer to Justice. It was only by a coincidence that they managed to find Wesker there.
