Would Nintendo offering to pay the difference in cost for 32 GB cards for third party releases a plausible solution

So third parties shouldn't have to jump through hoops while Nintendo has to, effectively do just that, to help them sell their own games. Double standards?

Getting 3rd parties on their console and keeping them happy will help them sell more consoles. So no, it's not about them helping 3rd parties sell their own games, it's about them making it easier to have a large and varied library and thus selling more consoles.

Ditching the handheld mode in favour of cheaper mass storage wouldn't bring 3rd parties to the Switch... then you have a Wii U 2.

Most people with a "Switch Home" and another console (f.e. PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One or Xbox One X) would probably get third party games as usual for their Sony or Microsoft console. Why go for the Switch version when it doesn't have anything unique?

The unique selling point for Switch versions of third party games is the mobile option... take that away and the third party games will sell as well as on the Wii U.
