Fewer Games is Never a Good Thing

There's a difference between claiming that fewer games is a good thing, and claiming that it's essentially a non issue. I don't think you'll find anyone celebrating the fact that Switch doesn't have many games.

Anyway, while I agree that Switch not having an amazing lineup is disappointing, Titanfall 2 or Borderlands 3 likely wouldn't have helped the console much, if at all. Nintendo has done an excellent job of making its consoles the least appealing place possible for online shooter based gameplay. Losing out on Mass Effect (or Yooka Laylee, if that falls through) is a much bigger blow, however.

Nintendo latest successful ip is actually an online shooter, but ok..

That's true, and you'll notice that in nearly every single review of that online shooter, the majority of the complaints are directed at how the online was handled. No voice chat, no local co op, restricted to two maps at any given time, etc. To this day Nintendo consistently fumbles some of the easiest things to nail with online gameplay, with perhaps the most recent notable example being having to use a phone app to voice chat on Switch.
