We always hear how easy it is to port to Switch and that it is easy money to be made, so why wouldn't they care to port this one?

Because it was a huge flop. That Nintendo wouldn't pay for a cheap and easy port, and even Platinum themselves made the fans foot the bill just shows how much of a failure W101 is commercially. 

If Platinum decided to port it and convinced people to pay over 2M when the port was even finished by Rol claim then it doesn't seem like it was such a big failure.
