A lot of those mods are pretty ass though with a ton of janky animations and movesets that look out of place and detract from actually playing the game. The most polished characters are from Legacy XP and there's only around 10 of those with a handful of other fairly polished customs that exist outside that modpack. There's also a few characters that are halfway decent but still need quite a bit more work to really make them on par with vanilla PM character, and a lot of these mods have been in the works for years yet very few of them actually get to a state I'd call finished. The rest of the mods that exist are barely playable or half assed backpots from Sm4sh and Ultimate with scuffed animations and character models. Meanwhile, Rivals 1 has well over 100 characters that are polished enough to fit with the base roster with some of those even being higher quality than the vanilla game. Even if the process for workshop modding is guaranteed to be much more streamlined than Brawl modding, 3D animation and modeling are pretty big hurdles to custom characters.
