It all depends on what it cost/ what the price of getting Sixaxis was for Sony. If it really wasn't an expensive or difficult thing to incorporate, then it's certainly not a mistake.
Great examples of using the Sixaxis have come out (Flow/Flower come to mind).
Horrible examples of using the Sixaxis have come out (Lair comes to mind).
It adds little features to games that when used properly is actually pretty fun.
People like to say it was a last second 'add-on' simply because it's not a "primary" control scheme for the PS3 and it's only optional. I think Sixaxis combined with Dual Shock gives you a very sophisticated control scheme that when is utilized properly provides you almost an unparalleled experience.
