Yeah I did not appreciate that they did that, it's a real shame.  The music and little bits of the FDS game were nice and just got snuffed out, and it was a pure choice to be that annoying given the US got cart Metroid and Japan got FDS metroid (which is why I got the FC mini version of Metroid instead.)

My guess is they just used it because it was the latest version and thus had the most bugfixes/etc. and the least amount of work. Pretty sure they did the same for Mario 3D All-Stars, think they used shindou version which is why mario only has one voice line when he throws bowser.
