I'm a Wii U owner, but bringing games to Wii U after the launch of the Switch would've been a terrible move. 

Setting aside for the moment that the Wii U was a colossal failure, the whole idea of the Switch was to unify Nintendo's software production under a single platform. Making another version of Mario Odyssey for Wii U would've cost them valuable development resources while reducing the incentive for U owners to upgrade. It makes no sense and no other company in Nintendo's position would've done so.

I'm WiiU owner as well - bought it mostly for BotW (oh dear) and MK, though I've enjoyed several other games as well.

As said in previous post, it is expected for platform holder to incentivize people to move to new platform, and I have no problem with that...apart from this particualr case of WiiU which was abandoned and could've easily got Switch ports for at least one year.

As for unifying software production - well, how's that going?

It's going well; where previously games were split between Wii U and 3DS, now we get everything on one platform, it's better for everyone.

What possible reason is there to bring games like Mario Odyssey or Splatoon 2 to Wii U? That's just pointless.
