Pretty much this.

Publishers and developers would support a Nintendo console if they thought they could make a solid return on their investment.  Period.  Most of the conspiracy theories are nonsense.  If they aren't supporting the Wii U then it's because they think it's not a worthwhile use of their resources.  It's as simple as that.

What if the Wii U had been on par with the PS4 and XO?  If it had a very similar hardware configuration?  Then it would have gotten the same games, at least to start with.  Testing the waters would have cost very little.  Perhaps not across the board, though it would have been close.  After that, however, it would have had to prove itself as a viable destination for third-party software.

Maybe the reason for the support dropping off is because no one needs three consoles that play the exact same games? Maybe that's also part of the reason that Nintendo has close to nothing in terms of third party support now. No one needs that.

OT: No. For various reasons. Mainly the one I mentioned above.
