Well what is the benefit of it on the PS4 and XB1? I mean the Switch doesnt have Achievements/Trophies and you couldnt redownload your PSN and XBLA games onto the PS4 and XB1 anyway.

Wait, are you sure? I thought there were a good amount of games I had gotten on PS3 that I could just re-download on PS4 after I got one. That's the nice thing that Sony does with cross-buying. Pay once, play everywhere. It'd be great if there were a similar feature on Switch linked with your NNID. Like hey guys, we know you've bought each iteration of this 30 year old game for the past three generations. Here, this time, have it for free (or at least heavily discounted). 

Pretty sure the games couldn't be redownloaded on PS4 and have to be purchased again.
