Great post and i do agree with you to an extent but rather than saying it was "premeditated", i would say its more like Nintendo likes to go back and revisit various ideas that didnt take off for one reason or another.
An example outside of the ones you detail would be the dual screen idea for DS which was originally used with Game & Watch.
