I see a lot of people with this view that this app is an attempt to get people to buy hardware when in fact it's turning smart phones into a Nintendo platform as well, completely different angle altogether.

That's oversimplifying it a bit, but basically this.

I mentioned this in my response to the OP, this app, is ment to be the "exposed communication" hub for the account system, much like the 3DS had Mii plaza. And this seems very much the idea that was put into place here.
