When it comes to franchises like this, COD, FIFA, etc, the player base is mostly casuals who simply don't care about the stuff hardcore gamers do.

Most of the audience is clearly fine with stuff like there being 400 Pokemon, much like most of the audience for COD doesn't care about it having made almost zero progress or evolution since 2007.

Honestly, "Dexit" was an inevitability that had to happen eventually; perpetual, endless growth is by definition an impossibility. 

People are going to be so pissed when the next Smash game has less than 80 characters...

Sad thing is, the probably will. I can honestly see Smash 6 getting a similar reaction to Sword/Shield for not having every character ever.
