They don't just copy paste what you would see on a computer screen directly to the DS, it would be too small, they have to make sure that font sizes are big enough to see and that objects take more size on the screen. People don't complain about the ds because their games are full screen and made for the ds.
It's a matter of what a TV is meant for and what a computer is meant for. A TV screen is meant to be used by multiple people. Usually located in the family room, it isn't hard to have two or even four people on the couch playing split screen on the Xbox 360. It's just like watching a movie.
But computers are NOT meant to be used by many people at the same time, it's not meant for two people, it's meant to be used by one person. Maybe where you live your computer is right in the open and it's easy for you to pull up a chair and have another person sit next to you. For everyone else, that's uncomfortable, maybe your computer is sitting on top a very tight desk area and you don't want to cram two people in it, maybe your monitor is a flat screen and it looks funny if you're looking at it at an angle, or maybe you're not even using a desktop, you might be playing Lugaru on a laptop where split screen with two people using a game pad rather than a mouse and keyboard is just stupid. There are many reasons why.
