I didn't know there were a few physical releases in Europe this year, that's cool. I know there have been a few digital games worldwide. For a console that flopped so hard, it's still getting a few crumbs.
And it's more than a little hypocritical that Nintendo sweeps the Wii U under the rug considering all the Wii U ports on the Switch. I mean the single best-selling game on Switch is a Wii U port. And in fairness, Mario Kart 8 was also the best-selling game on Wii U before it was ever ported to Switch. But I suppose Nintendo ignores the Wii U so much so that they can get away with so many ports and pretend that they are new games.
In regards to the OP's idea, it's too cumbersome. Using a Switch Lite or Switch in handheld mode while another Switch is docked seems pretty cumbersome. The whole second screen concept was not fully utilized with Wii U and there's not really a good way to improve it with Switch.

Top 10 best selling Switch games. 1) Mario Kart 8. - Wii U Port. 2) Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. - Wii U Port. 3) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. - Wii U Port. 4) Super Mario Odyssey. - Switch Exclusive. 5) Pokemon Sword and Shield. - Switch Exclusive. (Probably a ported unreleased 3DS game going by it's poor visuals.) 6) Animal Crossing: New Horizons. - Switch Exclusive. 7) Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! - Switch Exclusive. Remake. 8) Splatoon 2. - Switch Exclusive. 9) Super Mario Party. - Wii U Port. 10) New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. - Wii U Port.
50% of the Switch's best selling titles ARE ports from the WiiU. Arguably, the WiiU's issue was not game quality or popularity but likely quantity and poor hardware.

Smash Ultimate isn't a port; it takes A LOT of the framework of Smash 4 Wii U as a baseline, such as engine, art style, animations and move lists, but it's as much a port as Splatoon 2 is to the original. There is plenty of new enough in it to justify it's status as a sequel.
I say this as someone who would have been just fine with a port of it.
