It wasnt, this was never their strategy and i doubt nintendo would ever go down that route. The reason they made the boot2 update was an (useless) attempt to overwrite the boot2 replacement team twiizers made (bootmii). If anything most of the wii updates were attempts to stop homebrew and backup loading/piracy which i cant say they were wrong in doing so.

The reward for users mightve been the functionality to store channels on an sd card, which was introduced in 4.0. Or maybe even the newer versions of the wiiconnect channels, that got updates and functionality over time. Or the wii shopping channel, so you could access the wiiware and vc channels (which needed latest channel version & ios' installed )
