Alph is actually just an alternate costume for Olimar, from what I understand, but there are definitely a lot of people who don't understand the inclusion of Dark Pit. Sakurai really seems to like the series he works on. Granted, we don't know if Dark Pit will play anything like Pit, and Falco has already become more distinct from Fox since Brawl (in Brawl certainly he and Wolf were much more distinguished from Fox than Ryu and Ken were in the early Street Fighter games, most of Wolf's normals are completely distinct from Falco's and Fox's), so I'm guessing with Lucas it's a question of relevance. He was a long shot in Brawl to begin with, so a lot of people were speculating he'd be gone.
I'm really bummed about Wolf in particular, but also Ice Climbers and Lucas, but I'm hoping they'll make it in as DLC.
