I mean...they did.

You have to keep in mind that Sakurai began development on Smash Melee back in 1999, that's kinda the whole reason why the game's character and stage lineup is heavily build around pre-GCN era NES/SNES/N64/etc games, so obviously Luigi's Mansion came too late to have an impact on anything outside of a quick trophy model rip, same thing with stuff like Pikmin, Animal Crossing, etc.
