It shouldn't have because Melee coming out of the gate 2-2 was pretty strong evidence that this isn't the same game that won in 2006, and that gave even less reason to consider a 5 year old contest.
It's entirely irrelevant. It doesn't mean Melee isn't strong because it still is. But Melee in 2006 was at an entirely different level than it is now, and that's been pretty apparent from the beginning.
