This argument falls flat when Lucina was added before Chrom, despite the latter being Robin's sidekick aka his Tails. Then let's not forget how Lucas was added over any of Ness friends like Paula, Jeff, Poo or even Ninten. Or how Pyra/Mythra was added over Shulk's party members. Or how Septhiroth was added over any of Cloud's party members like Aerith or Barret, despite the latter being your first party member in FF7.
