I'm not sure whether to admire how much NoA doesn't give a fuck, or be appalled by it.

A little of both, really. It's part of what makes Nintendo so peculiar (that they are simultaneously the industry pioneer and the industry dinosaur), and this puts them more firmly on the dinosaur side of the line, since they never did anything meaningful like PlayStations Qore or created a figure like Major Nelson, and they just don't engage the media that well period, which is why e3 is so much more critical for Nintendo (because its the only time of year they ever actually say anything, whereas the others put actual stock in TGS and GamesCom), but it does take some big balls to be that lazy...
