I think it's something they will have to change eventually, especially when next-gen rolls around. So why not just change it now? They finally made playing off SD cards possible, but after what, two, three years? That should have been there day one.

I honestly think its because Nintendo didnt put any safeguards against abusing the system.

What's to stop me from going to friend's house and dumping my entire VC/WiiWare collection on their console, and stealing theirs.

Not really sure how they can get around it unless they tie your account to a single console... you know what nevermind, just answered my own question
