Your whole argument "Anyone who saw version in the Switch trailer can tell it's the enhanced version that's also on XBO/PS4" falls apart and you still choose to ignore that, grasping to straws like "Bethesda wouldn't do that", "no way they'd strong-arm Bethesda to do that", "EA or Ubisoft would doo that, but not the holy Bethesda", blablabla. Maybe you yourself are one of "these people" you laughed about:

I really would rather not get involved in this argument since a lot of you are acting childish on some level, but he has a point. Nintendo? Strong arming Bethesda Softworks? Please. They couldn't get BethSoft to shake their hand on stage in 2011 when coming off the monster success of the Wii. There's no way in hell they bullied BethSoft into showing a false representation of their game on the Switch, especially when you take into account that Bethesda is one of the few companies that has consistently made the point of showing representative gameplay footage of their games. And definitely not with Nintendo coming off the bomb of the Wii U. What incentive, pray tell, would Bethesda have to do this? Money? They're filthy rich and every BGS game sells over 10 million without breaking a sweat, no ammount Nintendo could offer them would be worth the PR black eye and the potential legal exposure. A big new audience? Hardly a bet worth taking after the Wii U. Unless Bethesda is lying for the lulz, there's no reason to disregard it, only to not take anything as a stone cold guarantee.
Like it or not, the Skyrim footage on the Switch has significance and the version being the enhanced version - which it was - is also not by mistake. We'll have to wait and see if it is the same version as the Xbone, but it's not vanilla.
Oh, and Nintendo is also including their own footage in that "don't take these things as announcements" statements and let's face it, we all know that the Nintendo games in that footage are real, they ain't got time to dither about making fake games :P
