Do those not count ?

No, I´m guessing you´re just refering to the N64 cartridges, Wii/DS friend codes and capacity and GC´s online capabilities, which are all intentional things, explained by their approach. There´s a difference between not being able to add those things, and thinking that those aren´t needed or using other alternatives instead, whether you personally agree or not.

Anyway… now more on topic, according to Gamespot´s report on NOA´s event, Reggie said that: “Soon you will be able to download and store virtual console and WiiWare titles directly on your SD card, and play them off your SD card. This will make the Wii download experience much easier.” so it seems that the games will be playable from the SD cards after all.
