The Greatest Moment in Fighting Game History is all Execution and No Strategy.
Thats the gist of what I'm trying to say.

No sir, EVO MOMENT 37 is more fascinating than that, it's not 100% execution.
You can't normally parry Chun's SA2 after the super flash comes out, you have to input forward BEFORE it happens. If you go re-watch the original video you can see Daigo literally mimicking every single move that Justin was doing for a good 5 seconds before the super finally comes out.

Daigo *PREDICTED* the SA2 chip coming from light years away, and was able to parry it all by using the in-game SOUND in a very noisy room on a tournament setting. That's what he said during an interview, he was so focused that he didn't even notice the crowd going apeshit insane all around him at the time.
WAZAAAAA
But godlike focus, prediction and execution during an high level tournament are not what makes this moment truly legendary. It's not just Daigo who can do it, many players can actually parry that. It's the crowd going hype. It shows that fighting cames "can work". We can bring people together to watch fighting games like it's a sporting event.
WAZAAAAA
TL;DR it's the crowd that makes it special.

If you do a Youtube Search Of Evo Moment 37..... you don't see the entire fight..... what you get is Chun Li doing a Super and Daigo Punishing it. The Community focused mostly on that moment and really the context leading up to it means jack shit to them.

Its exactly the type of thing you would expect from the type of game series that has has been alienating Noobs with hard moves to do for over 20 years.... Evo Moment 37 is just a reflection of that.
Whether or not that Fight had any Strategy to it is besides the point. That videos claim to fame is the Execution required to to pull it off. In another words..... just another day in Street Fighter.

"Street Fighter - Justin vs Daigo" is the most viewed fighting game video on YouTube (2nd if we want to consider Smash a fighter), and that's the one that contains the whole match. Your argument is invalid.
