Indeed. However, you've raised a single remarkable exception to a general heuristic as if a single example is all that is needed to thorougly refute a general heuristic, and of course that's not the case.
The overwhelming majority of papers put on arXiv and nowhere else are:
Most of the math papers are not comparable to Perelman's proof in importance( that should be obvious) but most of them are mathematically correct and interesting to mathematicians. People will often see something on the arXiv and look at it. On the other hand, as I mentioned, people are also more likely to look at a preprint if they know it is actually accepted in a reputable journal.
