I think Nintendo mainly didn't put a second circle pad on the device for appearances. They want the system to look simple and inviting to casual and non-gamers. A second circle pad makes it look far more complex and daunting. I'm not saying they made the right choice but I see the logic behind it.
@Basil- It works with certain games only. Resident Evil benefits from it, and Kingdom Hearts to a lesser extent. You can use it for Kid Icarus, but that's only for lefty flip purposes. Based on monster hunter tri, it should be nearly a necessity for Monster Hunter on the 3DS.
