Wait, what? That's quite ridiculous, why the hell would they ever even consider implementing that?

I'm almost sure Nintendo asked them to do. They have no faith in the skill of their fanbase.

I doubt that since 1) Nintendo still produces plenty of games that can be challenging or complex and 2) I doubt From Software and company would really care about such a request.

This is a concession for handheld play, nothing more.

If that would be the case, then 3rd-party games on WiiU should've sold really well. They didn't and that even compared to the install base not only actual numbers.

You raise a good point which I think needs to be explored more thoroughly.  What I would say about the two systems is that they had two HUGE differences in 3rd party response.  its a chicken and egg scenario if you ask me. 

It's really very simple.  The Switch is an attractive device with a healthy ecosystem and promotion that actually highlights the presence of 3rd parties.  The Wii U was none of that.  If a platform is obviously unhealthy, people are less likely to invest much into it.  And you cannot buy what you cannot see.
