It will still push a lot of Switch hardware. 

Still releasing it on Wii U was the right move, as it showed customers that Nintendo could be trusted to keep their promises. It would have significantly damaged their relationship with their fanbase if they'd canned the U version.

I don't think the promise should have been made in the first place. For all intents and purposes the Wii U has been dead for the last 12 Months. Turning over a new leaf and letting go of that dead carcass of a console would have been the move that says "We are Completely that our last attempt was a failure and we are fully commited to the vision that we believe corrects that 100%"

Hanging on to the Wii U is a sign of weakness and lack of confidence.

Abandoning the Wii U version would have sent the message to their hardcore fans that "you can't trust us, we're willing to lie to you and screw you over."

On the other hand, retaining it does practically no harm; Wii U owners don't feel screwed over, making them more likely to continue supporting Nintendo in the future, while the game will still move millions of Switch units since most buyers either want the premium version or don't have a Wii U anyway. Everybody wins.
