Sorry but there is a complete middle ground between the tyrannic practices of Nintendo (which as positive effect made publishers open a lot of subsidiaries to launch more games) and the complete lack of control and quality. And Nintendo kept a lot of those on SNES (which was already past the market crash) and some bad practices they kept for even longer... the high price and low cost they still keep.

What SNES era tactics are we talking about?

Do you know that several "ports" had to be made by different companies and had different content because Nintendo didn't allow a company that developed for SNES to develop for any other company right?

Nintendo didn't just call out all their tyranny after NES saved the market. It is one of the biggest reason for PS1 to have got such big support so early in its lifetime. Companies wanted to get out of Nintendo claws.
