@OP I think you mean Rock Band 2, not GH, right? If you prefer conspiracy theories, MTV has a part in Rock Band games, and thus more allegiance to Sony, due to the large control they have on the music industry.
But overall, Vagabond is right. Nintendo doesn't take much consideration into how much their decisions affect american gamers, which are heavily online based gamers. They are trying too hard to protect such a small audience of people from the "evil internet" with the friend codes. I want to log into a game lobby, find someone to play against and get into the game. I dont want to have to add contacts like an IM program. Hell, I don't even know what my Wii friend code is. I haven't bothered.
