Noone said it has no games. It's just it neither has enough high-quality exclusives, or any killer apps, for most people.
A good portion of that list are either niche PSN titles, multiplats which are better elsewhere, or games which just shouldn't be on there (Smart As? Really?)
Having said that, I personally have about 9 of those titles.

"Quality" is only what the consumer makes of it. In my opinion, there are many quality games on the Vita, even some that aren't in that list. But either due to laziness, ignorance or whatever, people just can't see it. Instead they just say "it has no games".

Perhaps you missed the part where I said "for most people", so I've highlighted it for you. You and I may think that there's a lot of good games on the system, because they cater to our tastes. And yet, the system isn't selling, despite the very fact that we know for a fact that software sells hardware. And why is that? Because it's the wrong software for the majority of people, and as such they aren't buying the system because there's no games that they wish to play. People want to play high-quality exclusives, so we can assume that for most people there isn't enough high-quality exclusives to warrant a purchase.
It's not lazines or ignorance for the mass market. It's laziness and ignorance on Sony's part, if anyone is to blame. They haven't thrown their weight behind the system, so why should anyone support it? People want what they had on their PSP. They want GTA. They want Gran Turismo. They want Final Fantasy. They want Monster Hunter. These are the "high quality exclusives" most people are waiting for, not Technika Tune, Lumines and Guacamelee.

I think this is my point.
Saying a system doesn't have anything
and
saying a system doesn't have anything I want
Are two different things. It's petty and pedantic to pick on I agree but it's what annoys me about conversations with critics. You mention PSP. The psp had the exact same problem, even with all the GTA and GT and all that crap, people still said it had no games. As this topic shows, Vita has something and if consumers aren't willing to try something new/niche instead of going for the same rinsed and repeated formula then how do you expect any of these to get into the limelight.
People will argue they want the CODs and so on on Vita but when they arrive, they will say "why do I want this? I can get it better elsewhere." When given something they can't get anywhere else, they say they want the CODs and so on and we are back to square one.
In my opinion, a new console should be about trying something you've never tried before or would not have tried under normal circumstances. Tangently; this is why I'm baffled by people who buy new and powerful machines just so they can replay their roms of SNES etc games.
It's the circular logic that I find baffling.
At least the ones who complain about memory cards have a stronger arguement in my opinion.
