The lead designer (Takihisa Taura) for Nier: Automata did say at the begining of 2017.
"From our perspective in PlatinumGames, if Square Enix pays us to do it, we'll make you a version for the Switch, we'll make you a version for the Super Nintendo if you want – anything you ask for."

So even though the probability is really low, who knows maybe Square did pay Platinum to work on a Switch port after the success of the system.
Still doubting this rumor though.
