This doesn't surprise me.

Nintendo isn't interested in Borderlands 3. They are also not interested in any other third party games that they feel is competition for their own games. Nintendo is not about creating a diverse ecosystem on their platforms, they are about creating an ecosystem where their own games can flourish.

Anyone thinking Nintendo will ever care about third parties at this point is delusional.

This is pretty much true.  Sony/Microsoft seek to build a framework where they can make money by providing a platform for third-parties.  Their own effort at first-party gaming is intended to enhance the perception of their platform in the eyes of consumers.  Nintendo seeks to build a platform which will allow them to make money from their first-party games, with the stray third-party effort playing an enhancement role.  It's always been that way, all the way back to the NES era where first-party Nintendo had access to better cartridges and priority in manufacturing (controlled by Nintendo).  

It's a very different philosophy.

Nintendo just isn't going to help third-parties succeed the way Sony and Microsoft do, which makes it a less attractive destination from the start.
