You left out feedback sticks, rotating bumpers, the ability to change virtual buttons by game.  This will be a vastly different experience than moving from my 360 controller to my One.  I'm very curious.  Gamepad's way too big to be effective too.  I also like that it maintained the speakers from the gamepad, one of my favorite features it has.

This isn't a Wii type game changer. Yeah the analog stick is a little different. Fundamentally it's going to be the same types of games, what it does do is it does enable Nintendo to welcome smartphone app ports and I suspect that's the main reason for this design change. 

But basically this controller is Wii-U2. It looks to me like Nintendo was unable to come up with anything better. 

Of course it's not Wii level innovation.  But that doesn't mean it's not say... introduction of the Analogue stick on N64 level.  This controller will not sell NX on its own, but it could be a major factor in returning Nintendo to a more premium feel and image.  The interface could allow for new and/or better experiences.  They'll need to back it up with innovative and desireable software, and a good system.
