Seems to be a pattern here. Why does Luke make an issue of pointing out the Samaritans did NOT receive the Spirit, and yet leave out any mention of the Ethiopian receiving the Spirit? Is Luke trying to make a point?
What would we think of an evangelist who could get folks into the water but none of them ever got the Holy Ghost?

Beloved, we must remember that
the KEYS to the kingdom were given to Peter. So it
was Peter who was to open the way into the kingdom for "
...Jerusalem and all Judea, and
in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
The KEYS were not given to Phillip.
