I read this as EA is still holding an emotional driven response to Nintendo not agreeing to EAs Origin being on WiiU and a stronger focus on digital only software (which is why MS jumped out gate with that idea and Sony also had original plans to do so until fallout from MS announcement).
With that EA is thinking Switch will lose some interest its gained from big Nintendo software and just being the new kid on the block. So long as Switch has a big holiday and other 3rd parties 1) show that their current support did well 2) show that they will be supporting it more strongly in 2018, then EA will announce their own yearly titles as support. Though they may not invest in the bigger AAA titles like Battlefield and instead just cop out with "not powerful enough" etc.
Granted, Nintendo may shoot itself in the foot if it doesn't make the online play work well. If they continue to trend in a direction that this is just going to be a complicated mess, it won't matter as most of these games have heavy multi-player elements. People will give up on the benefit of playing anywhere if that multiplayer experience is too complicated. Nintendo better make sure what we see in 2018 is clean and simple with some sort of obvious benefit.
