Eventually they'd have to make higher quality assets anyway. Even making it for the Switch would be much more expensive than the cheap 3DS games. They don't lose the high quality assets they create with this game, so they will certainly be used again in future games. It's just a higher up front cost. Also, 1.5 million on a console brings in about 50% more revenue than 1.5 million on a handheld, so revenue-wise it closes the gap a bit.

Switch games are also $60.

Switch games typically MSRP less than PS4 games in Japan. Considering there isn't a region wide MSRP for any platform (as each game's price is set by the publisher and doesn't adhere to a $40/50/60 policy), you have to look at it from case by case basis. For reference, Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS3 was over $100 on the conversion rates in 2008. That wasn't normal.
