Saying this is a bad business decision is one thing, but anyone arguing the legalities of this are misguided.
Licensing that limits number of uses, portion of use, length of time, or denies usage all together are all common place in every single form of media. EVERY media company on the planet does this (print, music, movies, games, etc).
It's fair to have an opinion that this is bad for business. However, no company would make such decisions lightly. I'm sure Nintendo has studied their options in far greater detail than anyone on this forum or on Youtube. Youtubers and gamers can complain all they want, but they can't expect companies to take them seriously about this 'advertising', unless they can provide real tangible DATA on their supposed effects on sales. That is how advertising works after all.
