but why do they avoid something so basic as a cloud service, a feature that would make the SD card issues a moot point? It's either oversight (inexcusable) or flat out arrogance, "our machine doesn't need that option".

Woah now.

Cloud service wasn't the norm until the middle of last gen. (PS3 Needed an update to do it, don't remember if the 360 had it on release). AND both Sony and Microsoft have had paid services for 2 gens now to build support for this.

Nintendo not having free cloud storage service on release is not an oversight or arrogance it's probably resource and business ops. They are just now in this gen getting into the paid online game (AND getting some pushback for paid services).

I would note that I don't expect cloud saves, however, and if they do have it in the future, probably not fully featured.

Your expectations are just way off with that, and I'm not sure how necessary "cloud service" is anyways. As long as we can move data from card to device to other cards, that's fine really.
