Because the whole definition of bias playing a role, where money is the only driving force, in the business making decisions of corporations is utterly unrealistic.

It might be shocking to many people but corprations are actually run by human beings, with motivations and feelings too! I KNOW! SHOCKING!

While usually, corprations will try to maximize profit at all time, there is precedent for personal feelings getting in the way of decision making. Hell, the original Playstation was released out of pride rather than careful financial analysis.

Its actually halarious imagining a board room of businessmen having a console war and ganging up on the one guy who speaks out for nintendo.

Maybe developopers and those lower down the hierarchy have feelings, but near the top, I dont even think they are gamers, let alone have a preference.

Actually, Trip Hawkins, former CEO of EA hated Nintendo so much that when the board of directors decided to support the Super NES back in the day, he resigned and then quit the company and formed 3DO. He took some of his friends with him, like Jason Rubin which went on to form Naughty Dog.
