Mario Kart 8 Deluxe wasn't on the WiiU. Even if it was, what's wrong with rebuying it if you no longer have/use the WiiU? Or you want a portable version? You're suggesting 'hardcore' Nintendo fans would buy 2 copies of the exact same game, to be used in the exact same way, for 2 (or more?) systems existing side by side. 

Do you think people who bought more than one DS bought all their games a second or third time?

Ohh I'm sorry, just make "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Portable" with a new outfit for each character, and it's a day one buy for you. Let's not kid ourselves here Bill.

Do you think it's unreasonable if someone buys MS Office twice, once for desktop and again for their laptop? Or getting Netflix for their phone when they already have it on PC?

You seem to be holding a grudge against Nintendo because they didn't let you use your NES carts in your Gameboy. There are legitimate differences in power between a home system and a portable system. This is why they had to have separate software. It wasn't because they're greedy Spud.
