You are transforming something which is by all means great news into a bad thing, is like you do it almost unconciusly.

Monster Hunter 5 will be vastly different to this, but for now this is perfectly fine and a great move for switch.

But we could've had an amazing Switch Monster Hunter here and now. This should have been that game. Instead we're being fobbed off with a cheap port.

Well they probably didn't want to wait too long.  It would have taken a lot of work if their development assets weren't of a high enough quality.  They would have to redo everything from the ground up.  Basically make a whole new game.  Scaling down is far, far easier than scaling up.
