If it's easier to develop for, wouldn't it be better for Nintendo to use x86?

It's not easier to develop for x86. It's not harder too. It's irrelevant for the dev, as the compiler takes care of the CPU-architecture. The reason to choose a CPU are in the hardware, not the software. Electronical connections, heat produced that have to be handled, mass production issues and so on.
