Even if they did take your advise, they'd still be due to have that single annual Direct now. Outside of Animal Crossing, we literally don't have anything to look forward to from Nintendo this year except a vague TBA 2020 for the Xenoblade remake.
It's not a matter of like last year when we were eagerly awaiting a January Direct when we already knew about Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Yoshi, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Daemon ex Machina, and whatever else I'm forgetting in the middle of the night. Last year with that lineup already baked in, you would have had a point. We didn't need a Direct.
But this year is different. Nintendo went in the complete opposite direction last year and focused almost completely on their lineup for that year. Even going so far as skipping the Game Awards. That's fine as far as it goes, but now they need to communicate with the world why anyone should buy a Switch.

Bravely Default 2 and No More Heroes 3 were announced at the Game Awards. Third party but Switch exclusive like Ultimate Alliance and Daemon ex Machina which you counted. Even still, that's only 3 games past March that don't even have dates so I totally agree with your post otherwise. I fear the lack of a direct is because they lack games. Can't have a direct if nothing is releasing from April to July.
