Why did Nintendo live rent free in SEGA's head?

Because Nintendo had a near-monopolistic grip on vidya at the time and Sega had to do whatever was necessary to be seen as a real competitor. Aggressive marketing about how much Nintendo sucks worked. You still remember the ads decades later.

Ads like this are pretty much always a smaller brand making fun of the more popular one. When I was younger Pepsi had a million ads shitting on Coca-Cola, but Coke never made fun of Pepsi because they didn't have to. They were already Coke. Yeah, it's petty, but you don't need to worry about the feelings of megacorps. Nintendo and Coca-Cola will be fine.
