I think Nintendo may just be trying to make some early profit on the hardware, until they build up a user base and game library. Wii U is at end of life; 3DS slowed down a lot; Ammiibo earns peanuts. They need some significant source of income, and tacking $10~$20 on hardware units is one of the most direct ways to do that.
