There are more network interfaces than there are mac addresses. A mac address is only 6 octets in length. And when you are limited to only 3 octets of uniqueness, and having sold more than 16 million Wiis, you will get conflicts.

Yes the friend code could be used to ban. But afaik Nintendo never made a mapping of mac to friend code to verify the supplied mac is correct.
