Fair point. I think I'm inclined to agree with you, but it's something I'd have to think about some more.
That being said, I would think that you and I could both agree that there are some great competitive games that require little technical skill.

Voted Castlevania because there was no Mr. Uppity.
Kupo banned himself? That might be the best thing I've heard all day.

I would be open to that line of thinking, but that's not the argument at hand =P

It's tavern brawl so automatically cancerous. It's hunter during accidental webspinner mode so... yes.

Fair.
For what it's worth though, from what I've seen and played of Smash 4, I don't know it's as good of a competitive game as Melee. Not saying that it's bad, but like, Melee was godly in my opinion.
That being said, I think it is possible for there to exist another Smash game which is considered a better competitive title than Melee, but I think this is unlikely. Not only is Melee a tough act to follow, but I also think some people just have the mentality that "Melee can't be topped no matter what" and might not give other games in the series a chance.
Obviously this doesn't encompass everyone, and I could very well be wrong. These are just my thoughts.

Sm4sh is pretty bad. Like, it's fun, I'll enjoy playing it with friends, but it's not that great of a game. I'd honestly prefer Brawlhalla if I'm gonna play a floaty fighter with minimal edge tactics.
Melee is super deeply rooted in the scene, obviously. It has become a crown gem and is still continually growing as a meta. I've gushed about why I think Melee is such an amazing competitive game plenty of times here.
You're partially right about the community not going to be willing to try a new one. For one - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The biggest issue with Melee is that CRTs are starting to become somewhat scarce. But we saw a bit of scene diversification with Project: M. I really enjoy that mod and think it comes very close to Melee. Unfortunately, that scene got shafted quite a bit when VGBootcamp dropped it out of fear of Nintendo taking C&D action. I don't blame VGB at all for that - it's just an unfortunate circumstance. There will not be a competitively viable Smash game coming out of Nintendo again, full stop. But it's Nintendo's IP, so there's all sorts of legal issues around building your own.
It's a confluence of factors, but Melee will always and forever be Smash king.
