We have the developers themselves saying that the game started development long before the Switch was announced. I call that a proof.

Not really, they wanted to keep it off of Nintendo regardless if it was the Wii U, 3DS or whatever platform they put out on the future.

The leak said it excluded Nintendo but never specified any platforms so its talking about Nintendo as a whole, when you think about what that means... they didnt wanted any sort of port to any Ninty stystem not even a smaller variant of the game on the 3Ds like what Nino Kuni and Dragon Quest did, and obviously that would include any new Ninty console (like the Switch).

And that is probably because they wanted that japanese market for themselves which is pretty obvious when you see that they have an exclusivity contract for japan, and thats considering that the only other console that has the game is the Xbox One... let that sink in... they have a contract to exclude the X1 from the Japanese market of MHW, a console that present no threat to them in that country and they still went the extra mile to exclude it with a contract.

Anyways practically everything in the leak became true and the only thing we cant be 100% sure about is the whole "excluding Nintendo thing" since we have no way to prove it, so at the end of the day the only thing we can do is wait and see if it ever comes out on the Switch.

Read the article I linked to you. It's written black on white. This is official. Some ominous leak is not official, no matter how many items of it became true or not.

Even more, in that same article Capcom says that they don't have any plans for MHW on the Switch at the moment. Which breaks your fishy exclusivity deal. And why is Xbox not a part of that deal?

I'm not even complaining. I'm not even looking for a Switch port since I could buy the game easily on the PS4 already. I'm just wondering why you would like to cling to hearsay and wishywashy instead of facts.
