but... why are they going online to not fight? I don't understand the logic behind it, even if you play in non ranked games of something like Street Fighter you don't have people joining games to not play.

Actually rather confused by that, like... is it a case of enjoying being online? but... you can't really communicate in Smash with the other fighters so you might as well just go into a game with 3 controllers on the ground not doing anything, is this really a common thing online in the game? Surely not

I can only guess that some folks prefer not to lose over winning? Personally, the whole point of playing for me is to just whallop folks, so I don't get the reason for being so conservative, but to each their own I guess. I agree with the OP that being stuck with others who play to not lose doesn't look like fun, though I'm not sure an achievement or ranking system won't just introduce different problems by incentivizng/punishing other unwanted behaviors.
