Pushing NX hardware is much more important to Nintendo than selling a few extra software copies on Wii U. Their future as a company is riding on NX, it represents their last chance to stay in the hardware business. With so much at stake, it makes no sense to handicap the system by robbing it of exclusives.

It should have enough software that having a cross gen Mario game shouldn't make much of a difference. If having a few cross gen titles are going to sink the ship (and honestly, you aren't going to get many people to buy a Wii U in 2017) then they don't have a solid strategy anyways.

Any benefit they gain from pushing a few more software copies will be outweighed by the reduced incentive to buy the new system their future depends on, and the additional development costs of cross-gen production. Releasing only on NX is better for Nintendo; they sell more hardware, and they don't have to burden their already stretched workforce by working on two versions of their major games. Wii U isn't worth the investment at this point.
