Do you already own a DVD player? If so, stop trolling.
Edit: I'll actually give a proper response. Anyone who is surprised by this needs to take a look at Nintendo's other console. they always have avoided supporting things like dvd playback because it slightly reduces the cost of the console to do so.
As for this being a stupid move, everybody already has multiple dvd players in their house. Any computer worth the name has one.
If a person wants to watch dvds on their computer, then the Wii U having a dvd player does not help
If a person wants to watch dvds on their tv, then either they will have room for a standalone dvd player and already own one or they wont.
If they have and are happy with a standalone, then the Wii U having a dvd player does not help
If they do not have/want a standalone dvd player, then either they have already sorted out some way to stream from their pc or they haven't.
If they have, then the Wii U having a dvd player does not help
If they have a problem, but have not even put in the minor amount of effort and cost required to stream from their PC, then they are certainly dumb enough to break their Wii U the day they buy it, thus the Wii U having a dvd player does not help because it will be broken.
Honestly, I don't get the fuss about consoles having built in dvd/blu ray capabilities.
