It's content on the cartridge that you have to pay $15 a piece in order to play with.  I mean how many developers add side content in their game and they don't release it as day one DLC or disc locked content, yet Nintendo has did this with a good portion of their games since the launch of Fire Emblem.  Fire Emblem which had around $60 worth of DLC.  Nintendo might be new to the DLC game, but they're trying their best to piss their fanbase off.  Atleast everyone who wouldn't give their life to defend the Nintendo name brand, because Nintendo can do anything they want without those people becoming even mildly upset.

They technically are $15 DLC/whatever you want to call them, but they are $15 DLC for multiple games. Each game may be very limited (costumes in MK8, 8bit Toads, etc..) so even if you don't get them, it doesn't affect gameplay. In Steam, these characters are just extras so I don't see how these disk locked characters are such a big deal..

They are basically a one time purchase for games that are supported now and for games in the future.. And these games are not exclusively Nintendo IP games so basically, amiibos are $1 DLC for 15 different games and you get a figurine as well.
