Where has it ever been insinuated that Sakurai hates Earthbound?
I don't think Roy will be back. Granted I'm not as aware of the FE fanbase as other franchises, so I don't know if there's been any clamor for him to return.
As for Chrom, Fluff, Bandana Dee, and Zoroark, one game does not a "major character" make. They have to make a strong impression and return enough to be a regular to the series. Like Diddy or Wolf or even Rosalina at this point. All of those characters you listed have been in one game. There's no reason for them to get such a major spot in a Smash game.
Dixie, on the other hand...
As for Bowser Jr, he was my choice for a new Mario character, but now with Rosalina in, I think that's been squashed.
