But point is if you cutting so many potential Switch buyers for game, than there are much smaller chances they will port game for just a Pro model in first place. I would say that for huge majority of 3rd parties would be much more willing port a game that will run on older Switch units also that will by time Pro arives will be maybe be around 50m+ users, than just for Pro model.
All comes to point that with revisions huge majority of Switch games will playable on all Switch units, so devs would still need to make make for older and weeker hardware despite stronger hardware on market. Look at Pro and X, all games still work on older models too.
Even Iwata talked even before NX was announced how they want their platform to be more like Android or iOS, where you have diferent type of hardwares that are all part of same platform and where offcourse same games work on them.

Even on Android/iOS, if you have an older phone there are certainly some new games that won't run on those devices. People understand that and don't get upset.
Like Fortnite (pretty much the biggest game out there now) won't run on iPhone 6 I believe. Would it be better if Apple nixed the game or didn't allow it onto iOS?

Yeah, like couple generations old phones. :) You can bet that people would very upset if Pro releases in 1-2 years and than you have bunch games that dont work on older Switch.
Yeah, but after iPhone 6 we had iPhone 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, SE, 8, 8 Plus, X and now XS, XS Max and XR. I mean of course after some point older hardware will not support new games, but in case of Switch we probably talking about next generation of Switch, not about Switch Pro or some other revision of current Switch.
