I just need to point out "remove the gamepad" is not anymore an option for Wii U than removing the Keyboard is for Windows. It is an integral part of the interface for a large amount of the software as well as the OS.
Essentially, a Wii U without the Gamepad would be like a Wii without a Wii remote, most games won't work with it, and any of the games that possibly do work will have to be patched. In addition, no more Miiverse, a new EShop will be required, and many other things would need to change. By the time development for that wa complete, the next generation of consoles will be due.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
