How is it the triad not relevant? Publishers control all three aspects. Their job is to optimize for return on investment. Different publishers make different for each property they are currently manage. If Switch ports (AAA mature western games, specifically) don't do well, they will slow down or stop entirely and that particular market may be in danger like it was on Wii U / vita. If Nintendo wants that kind of third party support, they need to step outside themselves to secure day-and-date releases, built on succesful projects commissioned by Nintendo. 

I have said Nintendo needed to fund there 3rd party ports for day and date releases for a while now.  It would both help third party sales as well as heal damaged relationships from previous generations.

Absolutely. The big thing is that this is Nintendo's problem to solve, if they choose to solve it. The approach of building an install base without third party support early on is silly IMO, because it doesn't result in a large demographic on their current console for third party publishers to sell against. Over 17 million consoles sold and the only third party million seller is the Skyrim remastered. Not a good look for Nintendo if they want day and date down-ports of AAA games.
