As it turns out, Nintendo's focus on OS Speed is the reason they went so light on system features (compared to Wii U and 3DS), and why they didn't even include Home menu music.

The inspiration was from how fast the NES used to get people playing games so they shaped the OS design philosophy around that idea.
