Mario Galaxy 2 is DLC and so is Luigi U, but insted of downloading the extra content, you had to buy a brand new game disc (and yes I know Luigi U was DLC first but that does not change the fact that they made it a buyable game later). I can't stand the Lost Levels because it's just DLC that you had to buy, but It HAD a reason because it was released before DLC was a thing.
There are a few things to consider
1) Nintendo during the Wii console period didn't have the online infrastructure to allow for DLC. Heck, the only way to patch Metroid: Other M or Skyward Sword was to send your save away on an SD card or download a channel to patch your save. So the only way Mario Galaxy 2 would ever have come out is through physical copies.
1a) Also the Wii doesn't have the hard drive space to support such a large add-on.
2) Not everyone has the Internet to download the DLC so an option needs to be there (physical copies)
3) Not everyone who does have Internet will have a fast enough download speed
4) Not everyone who does have the Internet may has space on their hard drive for more content.
I generally agree with how lazy a lot DLC is today but because of how behind Nintendo is, they kinda have make these options available. You'd be surprised how many didn't even know the Wii (or Wii U) had/has online capabilities.
