Well, i thought coach has final say on who gets to go. And as Scolari was coach.....
imho Rivaldo and Ronaldo are too old to be called in to play at world cup level. You're right on Ronaldinho though, but i'd also like to add that indeed Kaka was not a star back then, but imho would be a good addition to 2014 team.
If Dunga didn't get fired for the loss of the World Cup 2010, they would not turn out into a mediocre team like this.
Right now, Brazil doesn't have the super talents like Ronaldo/Ronaldinho/Rivaldo, so it is better to play Dunga's way.
They were pretending that Neymar was the new Ronaldo, but put all the bet on him, and the whole team just collapsed when he got injured. In reality, Neymar is a talented player, but still nowhere near the level of 3R.
If Dunga has successfully rebuilt his team in the World Cup 2018, then Brazil will again be a major nightmare for other teams, as long as they won't repeat the same mistakes as they did in 2010. And the 2018 WC is hosted in Europe, so I am not quite sured if they will allow Brazil to win the title on the European soil.
So the 2022 WC should be a more safe bet, but they have to keep Dunga for 8 more years.
