You might love it, but it's obviously not a priority feature to the majority of people. It's worth considering the potential benefits of not including it (e.g. joining Sony, MS, and PC with x86, making it much more port friendly), and if those benefits might provide a bigger boost to sales than backwards compatibility. We'll have to wait and see what Nintendo actually does, but it's certainly not a decision they should make without a lot of thought.
There is also the option of going with x86 and using software emulation, but that will require the WiiU's successor to be a huge hardware leap forwards.
