Truth be told I think I'd sooner see Waluigi actually be active in a mainline Mario or Wario game before getting in Smash. I have nothing against him being a fighter, I just think he feels even more overdue to actually do something in major title.
As far as the contrast in dislikes, Smash 4 and Ultimate had differing levels in the hype cycle. The former's DLC was exciting certainly, but it was a bit more chaotic and unexpected as far as picks, so I think there was simply less expectation in general for it to be super big, even in its final characters.
The latter beginning with a shock pick like Joker, including a longtime dream character like Banjo, and being a game that brought everybody back raised expectations so high that there would be a DLC pick that was a real disappointment to a lot of people eventually; a Jenga puzzle that however tall it got was doomed to have someone pull out the piece that brought things down.
It just so happened that in the minds of various fans Byleth not only knocked things down but then proceeded to throw the pieces at them. But that's the FE factor for you.
