A main character doesn't necessarily has to have more screentime than the guest cast - otherwise Ali wouldn't be a main character as well. A character is part of the main cast when he/she contributes more to the story than the guest cast. Without Ezra there would still be PLL. Aria could find another guy to make out with. But no Mona, no PLL. She started this whole A thing - and this A thing is the most important storyline of the show. No Mona --> no A --> no PLL. Therefore: Mona = main character.
