Actually, most products are like this, but I have to be relevant here.
Brawl is like a set of pegs and holes. (So's Melee.) You do certain things with it, it works--ball goes through the circular hole, right?
Then, you do certain things with it, it doesn't work--cube doesn't fit through the circle-hole. BUT, certain special little kids will find a way to make that block go through that hole, and thus they've found an all new venue for entertainment! They figured out something all those other kids never even thought of!
This is not the kind of kid marketed to. (Well, in this case.)
In the same way, you've found your way to have fun with Melee and soon with Brawl, have invested lots of time, effort, money, and emotion into this series. Still, there are only a few of you, and a few more yet to be like you.
For general purposes--for the thing that makes us all the same, not different--if the circle hole were designed to be able to allow passage of the square and even the triangle, the set would be rendered useless and no more special to anyone. Thus, something like this can't be made to accommodate a specific audience--one of which few are actually aware.
However, what can be done, as always, is a good game, produced as it should be--not predictable, but over-the-top, even with bonuses thrown in, things absolutely not needed but included for our very pleasure and nothing more. A game meant for everyone--including you.
I think people in this modern world are too used to having their every desire be accommodated. That isn't realistic at all.
(Note that I didn't write this to incite anyone's anger, or to accuse them of being a certain way. Take this as you will, but not in anger.)
