Well as I pointed out in my post, imagine if that logic was applied to every game that people think are still fun to play and watch?
Then there wouldn't just be one slot occupied by a 10+ year old game, but several. Meaning there would be even fewer spots for newer games like Dragonball, Soul Calibur, etc.

Eventually, EVO would just be a tournament focusing on classic games.

A 10 year old classic game that nobody plays and watches obviously doesn't have a place at EVO but Melee is hugely popular, probably more popular than half of the games who will be at EVO. Melee is a legacy title and very unique in E-sports. That's the reason why Melee should be at EVO, not my subjective liking for the game.

Smash's legacy titles will always be more popular than most other games the series is a massive seller to point it outsells many other games combined, even today Smash 64 has an active scene comparable to other fighting games for reference we can't simply go by popularity.
