That's because it was too much trouble to downgrade games enough so they could run on the Wii. But because of it's sales it got a lot of exclusive third party games too.
Madworld, Red Steel 1/2, No More Heroes 1/2, Deadly Creatures, Conduit 1/2, Dead Space Extraction, House of the Dead: Overkill, de Blob, etc.
If the sales are there the potential can't be ignored.

No More Heroes (under the name No More Heroes: Paradise) and House of the Dead: Overkill were released for PS3 as well. The rest of the games you mentioned are not Japanese games, except for Madworld.
But my point cannot be dimissed by mentioning a few examples, because the difference when it came to AAA third party support for quality games was astronomical.
If Capcom wanted to, they could have designed Resident Evil 5 or 6 with Wii in mind from the start of development.
For the majority of polpular Japanese franchises, Wii's sales were majorly ignored. And the exceptions are few.

As I said above, I mentioned Wii mainly to show that 3rd parties will find ways to supply a console with games if it sells well even if the console is weak.
I think we'll find that the Switch and Wii are otherwise very different; this is the first Nintendo console in a few generations where there is a unique benefit to buying a port of a AAA game on it instead of elsewhere, as it can be taken with you. In my experience for instance, I really had no reason to buy 3rd party games on the Wii and Wii U, but I'd happily do so for the Switch.
