Why do people think that Nintendo could go or should go third-party?

No, Nintendo will continue with their hardware as well as branching the company into different forms of entertainment. Hardware will thus become one of their divisions, and not just their primary focus of income. Nintendo will become an entertainment company (I know gaming is entertainment) all tied in with gaming, mobile, movie, toys, tv and lifestyle apps/ accessories.

And all of that is limited by nintendo hardware.

I detect that you dont like Nintendo hardware very much. Nintendo could quite easily build the most powerful console for next gen, but I doubt your opinion on them will sway even if they did.
