I can see Wario being in a Kirby game (being a mini-boss every now and again trying to steal your treasure or something) before having a role in a "proper" Mario game.
It just doesn't seem like something Nintendo would do, which is a shame as yes - your right, it would be cool.
If they got the writing right Wario would also work really well in a Mario and Luigi game, possibly refreshing the franchise if a 4th ever came to be. Nintendo seems to like keeping them a part now days though and if he was going to be in NSMB 2 or SMB U I think he would have been shown.
I'm guessing they don't want him playable as he wouldn't be able to shoulder barge/ram, pick up an throw things as it would be significantly different gameplay for him. Yes they could just make him not ram etc. but this is Nintendo and I can see them refusing to change how Wario plays in order to fit him in a game being a reason for his exclusion.
