I just find it funny more than anything since stats overall have been made so homogenized in Mario Kart World that as long as you pick something that has a decent speed/acceleration combo, it should still be pretty good for online. This isn't Mario Kart 8 Deluxe where you had to have an excellent mini-turbo stat (that you'd have no way of knowing you did or didn't have on the kart selection screen by the way) or you were almost never going to do well online, hence why everyone used Yoshi/Teddy Buggy or some variant of it. I'm currently at around 8700 VR and I switch between Peach and Rosalina on the Mack Rocket. Even though most lobbies at that point hivemind to the Baby Blooper, I can consistently make top third and even score some first place finishes despite playing at a """disadvantage""" according to a meta that isn't even two weeks old. Good item management, knowing when to take alternate paths, and knowing how to take alternate paths are far more important than they've ever been and I really don't think specific character/kart combos are going to realistically matter in this game outside of Time Trials.
