"I don't understand the problem with traditional mouse+kb for couch gaming"
"why not find a solution which incorporates mouse+kb instead of avoiding it?"
It sounds like they feel the same way to do. Mouse + Keyboard is already viable across a very wide spectrum of games. They don't need "a solution which incorporates mouse+kb", because that already is a solution (as you note, there's no real problem there).
However, for those that want a controller experience, there's not a viable solution. Controllers work across a pretty narrow spectrum of games. That is the problem that they're trying to address.
