Nintendo holding back functionality from third party developers

I know Nintendo is the industry darling right now but reading that they are not  allowing third party developers to integrate Mii's into their games or allowing third parties to develop online functionality in 2007 is a bit much.  The Wii as a development platform is already limited enough but this kind of crap is a bit much.  I can almost see not sharing Mii functionality but not allowing developers access to the internet API's either means that it isn't ready or Nintendo doesn't want anyone to upstage any of the games they are working on.
