In my IMO , if someone here in the U.S. wants their game in Japanese--or wants a game from Japan/another region--then that's a potential source of revenue Nintendo should be actively looking to exploit and expand. They shouldn't be trying to squash that niche market because they're too stupid to figure out how to serve it properly. Purposefully trying to prevent potential customers from buying and playing the games of yours that they want to buy and play--besides being stupid--leads to bad feelings and increased piracy.
Fixed.

I don't even see why Nintendo cares. Either way, they're getting money, aren't they?

I read one explanation. Nintendo claimed that, since they introduced parental controls onto the DSi, they "had to" introduce region-locking due to the difference in ratings systems across regions. Cuz it's not like you can't set up a system where a parent enters an age and lets the console figure out which ratings work with it. Hell, that'd be easier for most parents.

Yes. However, bootlegs abound among "import" sellers. If Nintendo decided to take an active role in helping import gamers find legitimate and reasonably priced games, then they could be making more money.

In a way. Nintendo, NoE, and NoA are operated as separate companies. While they're not exactly competing with one another, they do each earn their own profits. I'm sure at least a small part of the reason is that NoA (for example) would like gamers spending their limited budgets (time budgets, money budgets) on products that will contribute to their profits rather than the other branches'.
