...... Why cant they be cut? They're not relevant.

I think character's 'relevance' in games like these are more of an added bonus, than an importance.

For example, how relevant was Marth, mainly in the west, when Melee released?
I had never played any of his games. And yet for me he was the most fun character in the game, by far. So much so that I barely ever used anyone else.

The inclusion of Fire Emblem was at that time, catering to the Japanese. Marth was relevant over there. Marth is the OG protagonist and had appeared in multiple FE's at that point (I think the only FE protagonist to get multiple appearances) with Roy just having his game about to be released. I would not call relevancy an "added bonus" as there is no character minus R.O.B (who is just there to be the shock character) that at the time of their inclusion they were not relevant somehow. Developers are clearly thinking about this topic.
