Why would devs back another underpowered Nintendo console?

Number 3 is really the same as number 2.

It's not a ruse if everyone knows it'll happen though. "Ruse", as defined as "A wily subterfuge", doesn't really fit the bill here. There is no subterfuge, seeing these developers' past history with Nintendo. It would be like showing surprise if a person convicted of multiple murders were to kill again.

I suppose it's a matter of semantics, so I guess we can technically both be right (or wrong).

I think the likes of 2K, From Software, and Bethesda know exactly what they're implying when they put their brand next to the Switch and how that implication may differ from reality
