Never said it was ever needed, just something I could see them doing. Nintendo was the first of the big three to introduce a mid gen refresh however after all with the NEW 3DS, which also had a few games exclusive to it that could not run on the base 3DS. There is literally no reason to believe that they would not expand on that idea.
Furthermore, by your logic, if devs would not release a game that could only run on the new model if it needed the extra juice then every PS5 and XSX game would also run on a base X1. You and I both know that will not be the case however.
It would be no different than those specific games being treated as a new console generation, which kind of debunks the entire premise that they would ignore it based on install base alone.

The Game Boy and DS also had mid-gen refreshes. If you look at those three mid-gen refreshes done by Nintendo (GB Color, DSi and New 3DS), you'll notice that the number of games that didn't run on the original iteration of each console got smaller from generation to generation. Given that the only 3DS games that didn't run on the base 3DS were first party titles, it makes your justification for your idea very weak.
I've read your second and third paragraph four times, but I still can't make any sense out of them.

Yeah if you didn't count some eshop games
