>She rejected Mario in games like Odyssey.
Postgame has Peach still gift and help Mario, so it was just like a Popeye gag skit. This is more official art released years after Odyssey by the way.

>no one says the romance was never a thing. the point is that nintendo is retconning it and branding peach
They aren't retconning any of it. This official animation was posted 2 years after odyssey, and nintendo today app is just reusing profiles that are many years old (People wrongly think they just made them last month) and still have the same jp/localizer differences.

Even "good friends" contradict official Mario and Peach content. It's best to keep things ambiguous because of this like japanese.
