Any Idea ehy they had to start VC from scratch in the first place? I mean, WiiU is bc with the Wii (and gamecube even though nintendo didn't officially implement that as a feature.) so shouldn't it have been able to play the whole Wii virtual console library anyways?

The Wii-Wii U switch was far more complicated than the GCN-Wii switch. It's why Wii games must literally be booted up from a Wii mode.

Also, and this is the biggest reason, the Wii Shop was garbage. But being honest, they probably could have done a better job. 3DS plays DSiware games just fine, and that's integrated into the eshop fine. Same with Wii games.
