Why was Pluto not a gas giant?
Interesting question. You are wondering why an object as small as Pluto would show up in the part of the solar system where you would expect gas giants. Clearly, Pluto has a much different origin from the planets it hangs out with. Pluto is a Kuyper object, meaning that it is from the Kuyper belt, a gigantic field of asteroids beyond the orbit of Neptune. This is one of the reasons that its place on the list of major planets was questioned.
