I don't quite understand the issue here. While it's hard to spot due to your camera position, he did curve his melee towards you.
It's important to understand that what you see isn't a correct representation of the truth. What you see is an image where your enemies are XX milliseconds in the past. And you are similarly far in the past on their screens.
What's happening looks essentially fine in the replay, and from their perspective it would have looked obviously correct. This doesn't really have anything to do with hitboxes, this is just lag compensation working as intended.

I understand the compensation lag but my final position wasn't at the point where he ended his punch. Isn't that weird?
(Oh and I thank you the time you took to make this deeper analysis from those two both perspectives)

From his perspective you would have been a lot closer. You might also underestimate how far melee attacks reach in this game. We can't display the current hitbox for those directly anymore, but it really is ~5-6m from your hand in the center of the damage cone, and what's visible in the top-down view is probably within that.
