With the Switch it makes sense. Wii U disks are too big. Not to mention the internals have been changed to be far more scalable.
So, while Switch isn't backwards compatibile, it is likely that the successor will be more backwards compatible than any Nintendo home console before it. That is, no weird separate emulation mode, no weird GameCube controller you have to use, and perhaps a unification of services rather than dropping one older EShop for another.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
