This thread reminds me of when they announced that the 3DS XL woudn't come with an AC Adapter
People went crazy! Ryuzaki here said people on france would go to the streets burning Japan's flag! Oh the horror!

What happened? It was a sales success (going to surpass both PS3 year to date and Vita's Lifetime sales in one week).
And best yet, the AC Adapter is in amazon.jp top 10 since forever. Good business and who really needs one buy it easily and cheap or even use a third party option (even cheaper)

This is another classic case of "problem that isn't really a problem, and if it really is a problem for you there's an easy and cheap solution". They just should come with a better name for this though, something like "first world problems" or something.

First world problems is a thing, but it'd like be in reverse for this situation.

"Online works fine,

 

but wireless is unstable to stream netflix"

Something like that. Still not sure how you really defend the exclusion. Companies shouldn't be able to just remove components that seen as standards.
