The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a superb launch title for Nintendo Switch, but it was never intended as such. For almost all of its development, Breath of the Wild was a Wii U game through and through.

Development of BotW started 5 years before the Switch came out! Besides that, WiiU to Switch isn't much of a jump at all.

The Switch is roughly as powerful as the Wii U — a little speedier, sure, but they’re not in different galaxies.

You missed the point that the game was cross gen. I don’t care how it came to be. And yet the games quality spoke for itself and added value to the brand. I am sure we will see more tangible benefits with Halo though. 

Why would Nintendo pull a game, developed for WiiU, from the WiiU? In fact, they most likely delayed it some more to be able to get a Switch version running to release at the launch of the Switch. So in fact it was anti-consumer, leaving WiiU owners to wait for the Switch to release so the Switch would get all the attention with BotW.

One game was pulled from the platform it was intended for and never made it on to it, The last guardian. But that's a whole different story. That game simply didn't work on last gen hardware. It couldn't be scaled down!
