Tell that to the Civ V developers. You can use GPGPU to do lots of different things, one of them is fast texture decompression.

Like I said you need to sacrifice graphics to do other thing with GPGPU... for not sacrifice graphics you need to user the CPU for that or another GPU. The best cenario is to use another GPU but the Wii U have just one.

So for consoles the best thing is to use CPU for other things and the GPU just for graphics.

It depends on what the game does. Efficiency is the key, and having the option to use the GPU to do some work is much better than not having that possibility.
