Please don't assume that's the reason at all.

Yes HD Rumble is an improvement, you literally can't say it's bad, it's objectively better. I just wouldn't really regard it in itself is really "innovative". It seems more the gameplay they're trying to create with it is the "innovation". The 'how many ice cubes are in your controller' minigames I couldn't care about in the slightest.

It's a nice feature, but it's not something I feel should have any affect on HOW we play, that just feels completely forced.

So you prefer to miss out on features and just have cheap PCs instead..

Features such as? What has Nintendo really done in the past decade that's so great? Nothing I can think of that I care about.

Regardless that assumes that if Nintendo stopped making hardware there'd never be any advancements made in gaming technology... oh wait shareplay.... VR.... Online Parties.... multi-touch....

Nintendo leaving hardware would not stop innovation. Amongst Mobile Hardware Manufacturers, Sony, Microsoft, Logitech, Razer, Oculus, and many other companies that may or may not exist yet, I think gaming hardware advancements would be covered should Nintendo dedicated themselves to software. 

 Regardless I'm more than content with gaming hardware as it is, it's software that needs to be innovated, not hardware.
