The countries of the Middle-East may have very high Per Capita Income due to revenues from crude oil, but they are otherwise not developed in each sector (except Israel). Their literacy rate, life expectancy at birth and other similar parameters do not match those of developed countries of the West. The probable reason is that they have become rich nations recently due to a sharp increase in the price of oil, but their society has not developed accordingly. Most of the wealth is accumulated in a few hands, i.e. there is an unequal distribution of wealth. The gap between the poor and rich is very wide in these countries. They are not developed because they lack other developmental facilities such as health care facilities, education, etc.

In short because only PCI is not the criterion for ranking a country but also the healthcare and education, which are not actually developed or offered to its citizens by some countries. that's why they are not developed.
