Because parents can easily control what games they buy for their little kids, they can't really control who their kids try to communicate with while they aren't around. I agree that it is a stupid system. But for nintendo, children are their main demographic and so they want to make their handheld as appealing as possible to the parents, the people who will be making the purchasing decisions for their children. And they probably have concrete statistics that show parents prefer the system currently in place.
