It's an obvious bonus to amiibo owners. that's definetely not dlc and, most importantly, isn't essential. the game remains complete at launch.

Bonus to amiibo owners = $10 DLC to non Amiibo owners. If not downloadable content its on disc content that is blocked from users until they throw cash on various toys which is even worse tbh. 

It may not be essential content but its still a pretty gross model and is the exact mindset behind the exploitation of DLC. Something ready at launch being exclusive to those who have paid a premium.

If you are completely averse to Amiibo, but compelled towards all of their bonuses, they can always be resold.

To unlock most of their bonuses, you could even just borrow one.
