Maybe you don't know it, or you have decided to ignore it, but Steam Sales are not mandatory. Valve/Steam sends a form to publishers asking them if they want to take part in their sales, which of their games want to put on sale and which discount they want to apply to each game.

So no, Nintendo wouldn't be forced to sell their games $30 a few months after release or anything like that.

Even if they aren't forced into it they will either get their games sold at a massive discount on Kinguin ala currency manipulation, or nobody will buy their games because they will be considered too expensive. 

Nintendo games are already expensive in their physical form, very, very rarely droping in price even years after their release.

Amd they can also limit, if not avoid, the other problem you mentioned by limiting the stores with access to keys for their games.

 

In any case, Nintendo isn't interested in launching their games on PC because they care about their hardware sales, so there's no need to look for excuses as to why they won't do it.
