I'm on the side that they could have handled this situation better, such as an official statement in regards as to why. Sure, there's no need for them to do that, but I think that would help clear this quest of a Switch version rather than how they're handling it now.
Now I do wonder if they have made a statement on it before. If they did, I can understand why they give answers like the ones shown.
I feel it's unfortunate that they won't be porting it to the Switch, as I would have liked to have gotten it on that, but it's they're decision and I'll respect that. Though more often it's said porting to the Switch not such a difficult task, so I wonder about this case.
Dance my pretties!
