The event also had an Ultimate tournament, so I assume Nintendo expected the Melee portion to not happen since they originally canceled that part of it but then decided to do it via Slippi.

This fact right here to me seems the crux of the argument. Regardless of how crappy it is for nintendo do this, it also doesn't seem on the level to get nintendo to sponsor it, then after the fact go "oh btw we're using this software you don't like" and not expect pushback. If the problem lies in the fact that the tourney would've had to be cancelled because the organizers were not forthcoming with nintendo, that seems just as much a consequence the organizers should have to bear as it does nintendo being pretty petty about this.

In other words, nintendo is absolutely being dumb, but the organizers were ALSO being dumb if they intentionally tried to get one over on nintendo.
