possibly because dirt is so common, the writer is inferring that the particular disappointment is nothing special. It's common just like dirt.

dirt-disappointed is an alliteration. A word or words with the same first consonant sound occurring close together.

Remember alliteration does not mean having the same first letter, but rather the same first sound

Companies sometimes use alliteration to make their name catchy, easy to remember.
