Actually, the reasons are very obvious to those who have some understanding of the situation.
Jigglypuff is very popular in Japan. This was why Jigglypuff made it into the original Smash Bros. Jigglypuff is also quite easy to animate, and the moveset is rather unique yet simple. Given all of this, including Jigglypuff in the new games is a no-brainer; it would take relatively little effort to develop the character model, moveset, etc, and thus Jiggles wouldn't take up a slot that could have gone to another character.
