Nintendo's unique offers to 3rd parties.

Pyro as Bill said:

Switch offers 3rd parties some opportunities that no current, past or next-gen system can offer or has offered all in one place. Hopefully it comes in at a reasonable price.

- Simpler experience for consumer. Plug in cart and play. Try a friend's game overnight without the hassle of making space on the HD.
I will believe that when I see it. There is a lot of room for sharing limitations.

- No online subscription. No barriers to online play. Consumer has more cash for games.
Not entirely cofirmed yet?

- Potential to rival iPad for some people, especially youngsters. Simple TV-out, 4K content, Youtube, Netflix, Whatsapp, Skype, accessories/addons.
Less rivaling and more filling the niche for people who can't afford an iPad. Still no replacement for one. A lot of youngsters would probably prefer an iPad due to prestige and thei friend's choices.

- First party support at levels never seen before combined with the best track record of delivering new, breakout IPs.
That's a big fat minus for every 3rd Party. Don't know why it's in this list.

- Safe, known quantity when treated as a Nintendo handheld compared with VR and Microsoft's track record.
I'll wait on that. 3DS is old and has been kept alive by the New 3DS. We don't know how popular handhelds are in 2017.

- No requirement to be at the cutting edge. Cheaper to develop, port opportunities.
Cheaper to develop, yes but maybe not cheaper to port an existing game due to heavy limitations and a different architecture.

A few words to some of the points. I do agree with the rest.
