The Xbox 360 is like 12x more powerful than the original Xbox. The Switch does not that kind of power over Wii U to comfortably pull of emulation and physically incorporating elements of the Wii U's architecture would probably cripple the Switch as a power efficient handheld 

But the Xbox One isn't 12x more powerful than the Xbox 360. They still made it happen. Nintendo could easily pull it off. If they managed to port all these Wii U games to the Switch then it probably isn't that hard.

Xbox One is like 8-10x more powerful than 360 and its emulation is not the best. The Switch trying to emulate the Wii U would be a terrible 15fps game experience and the Wii U doesn't have enough games to justify the effort it would require. Just port the 8 or so games people care about, market them like new and forget the Wii U ever existed is the smartest approach.
