I thought it's because they were working on the retail game for some time now and they initially didn't realize that drawing in Miiverse on the WiiU would get big. The goal of Miiverse's simple drawing capability was just to have people make simple sketches to be able to convey their questions/problems or sollutions about certain games in a more visual way to other players. When people started making complete artworks with it, which Nintendo didn't expect, they decided to release a few features of the new game bundled in this app instead of making everyone wait. So basically, the retail game was already on it's way before Sketchpad was considered. I also thought however, that they would indeed release a couple lessons as DLC later on, but I'm not sure.
