But creating a hardware boost may also allow for games being developed for the PS5/Xbox to be scaled down and ran on the Switch hardware.

No it wont, let's say this hypothetical Switch Pro releases in late 2020 right around the next gen consoles.

By the end of 2020 you would be looking at Switch+Lite at 65-70 million while Switch Pro would be like 2-3 million.

If the majority of AAA PS4/XBO games are skipping Switch with these high sales than why would they all of a sudden start supporting the tiny Pro install base with PS5/XSX ports?

They wont.

What I could see is making PS4/XBO/Switch versions of games on a different hardware build, similar to how Wii and PS2 ports of PS360 games were made with another engine or otherwise a different version/build of the same game. Hence why I think that as long as PS4/XBO get multiplat support, the Switch will, too.
