This is a bit like why Jeremy Fitzgerald had to be the Bite of '87 victim. Because you can eliminate every other character as a possible victim.. except for him.

It's a Royal Memorial Fountain. Who do we know in the Royal Circles that may have died in the previous decade? Certainly not anyone in the immortal Royal Family.

And it couldn't be Asriel or Chara because Chara arrived at The End of 201X, after the MMT fountain was built. Spring 2020 is the eariest Asriel and Chara could have had their doomed Buttercup Adventure and tracked flower seeds back home. So the fountain couldn't have been made for them.

Other than the Royal Family, and The Royal Scientist, the only other people we know in the royal circles are The Royal Guard. Yet we're never given the knowledge of any Royal Guard member who was lost in the past ten years, or who achieved legendary status fighting the handful of visitng humans.

There's only one mysterious death we know to investigate, who's have left such a powerful footprint on monster society that even the shadow of his forgotten name would still be enough to make people want to build a fountain for him: Gaster.

If you want to eliminate Gaster as the subject for the memorial fountain, you're going to have to find other candidates for it with a similiar power level. I can think of none.
