I'm suggesting that it wouldn't have cost Activision much time in terms of development for what would have been a goodwill gesture. That doesn't seem like a whole lot to ask for. I agree with you that RB should have used the standard Wii controls, but like I said previously, a USB HID device is a supported device in the Wii's IOS. Although it may not be a BT controller, it isn't a completely foreign device.
Heck, Harmonix is just as guilty and I complained loudly when RB1 was released and it didn't support the GH3 guitar. However, just as with Harmonix and the GH3 guitar, there is no good reason to ignore support for the RB1 drumset unless they wanted to push people to buy Activision's equipment.
Again, this mess seems to be sorted in RB2, reports seem to indicate that all devices are supported in RB2, which makes me happy to hear.
