Why is the Switch still not getting big games from 3rd parties? October edition

What is the reasoning for this now?

With Resident Evil 2 Remake around the corner, it just occurred to me that the last time a mainline Resident Evil game ended up on a Nintendo console was Residsent Evil 4, back in 2005.
Though Switch is getting Japanese games like Octapath Traveler and Yokai Watch, so it's still going to be popular in Japan for its third party games as well.

the remasters of 4, RE and RE:Zero were on the Wii, the HD remaster of Revelations was on the WiiU which had originally been a 3DS exclusive for the first year or so of its life.

Unless you think remakes/remasters don't count as new mainline resident evil games... but then you start your post with "resident evil 2 remake" so that should hardly be the case.

Or is there another reason those games don't count? 3DS isn't a console, it's a handheld console, Switches versions of Rev1+2 don't count as a console because it's a hybrid and not a console..... it's Wednesday?
