I know they could, my line of thinking leans more toward budget cuts than actual tech, as you said, the Wii and Wii U were able to pull it off.

Honestly, I like the theory that Xenoblade 2 was originally Monolith's 3DS game, and it transitioned to Switch development (being replaced by Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.) That is probably why there was a transition to a cell-shaded art-style, and since art assets are expensive to produce they just stuck with them. 

 

Possibly, I could really see this as something that started on a handheld.
