The problem is, as of now only one NNID can be used per console. I have 2 3DSs and a Wii U, so it's hard keeping track of which purchase goes on which account. I buy digital for everything not Nintendo, but having 3 different NNIDs is hard to work with (I got my 3DSs and Wii U beofre they made the Wii-to-3DS policy)


Uh, you can have multiple users with different IDS on the same Wii U. 

I don't mean that, I mean that I can only have my NNID on one Wii U and one 3DS at the same time. Thus, if I purchase a game, it is tied to one console, with no way of transferring it other than the link or sending it to Nintendo. With the PS3/360, you can have the same game downloaded on multiple systems, and if a console breaks, you can just buy a new one and sign in to access your games, no need to send the console to Nintendo.

But you can transfer between Wii Us now and 3DSes. I really find no reason to have multiple IDs anyways. What you are complaining about is content locked items. Which is understandable, but pointless to complain about. Nintendo is practically rushing in to what Sony and MS has now. Besides, your content on your console is also tied to a NNID that you used to purchase it. This is why they say (multiple times) don't wipe your purchases from your 3DS because it will also effect the Wii U.
