Sakura's absence occasionally is due to developers wanting to focus on different storylines or balancing the character roster.
Sakura does appear in many Street Fighter games, but she might sit some out to let other characters have the spotlight.
Sakura's my favorite, and she takes breaks sometimes, but when she returns, she always makes a splash!
