The thing is, Iwata is just one man out of 7 billion. He can't have made an impression on every last single person. Many people would not have even known his name, but know and love the Nintendo brand and are concerned for the brand after hearing that the CEO died.
I do think the news is sad. He contributed a lot to gaming and was very young, but unfortunately I do not know the man so for me, discussing Nintendo's future wouldn't seem insensitive.
I suppose a good analogy would be if Tspiras died and people were wondering who would replace him instantly around the world. While it would be sad, his death would be a lesser issue to most people.
I don't think it's wrong to discuss replacements any length after Iwata's death as long as the comments are respectful.
