And if I buy a $60 game, I should get all the bonus without buying it again, ever.

That's just not how the world works, nor will it ever be.

If you bought MP3 at launch, you were screwed, but you didn't miss out on anything.

I effectively missed out on the opportunity to save $40 ($60 for 3 games=$20 per game), plus it made it that much harder to justify buying the upgraded versions of 1 and 2 (hence I didn't buy the trilogy until it was discounted to $10 in the WiiU rerelease).

If you bought Super Mario 3D World at launch, you are missing important content that you can only get if you bend down and let Nintendo know that you're happy with the Deluxe port scam where you have to buy a game a possibly infinite amount of times to get all the content.

The content isn't that important. It's certainly not $40 worth of important, which is the comparison I'm making there.

Dreamcast had more exclusives by the time its generation ended than Wii U. That makes Wii U not even up to Dreamcast standards.

That has nothing to do with anything you or I said leading up to it.

Sure there is something to be gained by keeping games tied down to old systems: it is a reward for people who bought that console and protects the legacy of the console maker.

As I said, "legacy" means nothing except what can be leveraged for PR purposes, and the Switch's success shows that Nintendo's reputation wasn't that badly damaged by the WiiU. People who bought the console were already rewarded for doing so by being able to play the games they bought. I have no reason to expect more of a reward than that for conducting a simple business transaction.

People buy the PS5 because of future games.

So why not wait until those future games come out to buy it?

I bought a Wii U because Nintendo exclusives were never exclusive just for the system's lifetime.

Then you have some really weird priorities that you should really examine before letting them influence any further $300+ purchasing decisions. Game systems are purchased to play games, not to stroke your ego with the idea that you're part of some special club with exclusive experiences. Again, you really need to get over yourself and stop being so melodramatic.
