It is not and has never been "one of the most iconic memes", you just lived in a bubble online where everyone you interacted with knew the meme. Ctrl+Alt+Del wasn't even that popular in the context of the broader internet, it was just relatively popular *for a webcomic*. When Loss happened, there was no webcomic on earth that more than 5% of regular internet users actually read. That's probably still true, actually. Almost certainly. You just found yourself in circles of people who knew it for one reason or another.
You know what the one universally iconic CLASSIC meme is? Rickrolling.
Another meme you probably consider iconic because of your bubble is ManningFace. Well guess what? Anyone who doesn't use reddit regularly has no fucking idea what that is. People on reddit think it's iconic everywhere because they always see it on fucking reddit.
That's you with Loss and whatever communities you saw spam Loss all the time. Most normal people had no context for whatever exposure they might have supposedly incidentally had to it.

Wow, a melee enjoyer in this neck of the woods? Like a beacon of shining light. Also this is my first time seeing a Loss meme (that I know of) and I’ve been on Reddit for over 10 years
