MS wouldn't have to invest much of anything; these kind of projects are almost always outsourced to porting houses. Many third party games on Switch have been commercially successful, basically every popular big game brought to it has been, (sales of 1-2 Switch are completely irrelevant, you don't need to sell that much to be successful) and a game as big as Halo certainly be. It makes perfect sense.

Whatever few resources they spend, would be resources they could use on their own games. Games to be sold to an audience that has already proven consume said games.

So, no. It doesn't make one bit of sense. If it did, we would have every single 3rd party publisher out there porting their old games to Switch.

They only thing they'd need to spend is money to the external porting studio, which would be recouped by sales, so that wouldn't take anything away from their Xbox output at all.

And the latter assumes that third party publishers always make smart decisions, which obviously isn't true. Nonetheless, many publishers have ported their old games to Switch and there's zero reason why MS wouldn't also benefit from doing so.
