Yeah Western devs unfortunately will probably bail out after the first year or so like Wii U. 

Nintendo fans are picky as fuck too, they turned their nose up at perfectly good PS3/360 ports on the Wii U and cited reasons like "well the frame rate is like 2 frames less on the Wii U, developer waz lazy". 

LOL, if that's going to be the attitude for Switch ports it's going to be ugly, because much larger compromises are going to have to be made to get a lot of games running on the system.

I think Nintendo should just agree to cover part of the costs for FIFA/Madden NFL/NBA 2K/Assassin's Creed/COD games on Switch if it comes to that. 

At least you'll have sports + 1 FPS IP + 1 third person action IP that way. 

Honestly I think that'd be a waste of Nintendo's money. The communitys for those games are already well established on PS4/XB1, so I don't see people switching (lel) to the Switch versions when all their friends own the games on the aforementioned systems. Though maybe I'm underselling the value of portability and free online (Switch's online BETTER be free) against better graphics/performance and playerbase size.

Well that's kind of the responsibility of being a hardware manufacturer, there is some expected diversity in the library that people want. 

I think even just sports games, have EA make one engine for Madden/FIFA on Switch and update it yearly ... wouldn't be bad. Let them have a bonus Mario mode with more cartoony characters as well.
