In mid May Furukawa said covid is having a large development impact in Japan since they didn't already have a remote development environment in place. I don't know how accurate he was being when saying that but if he was being truthful then it means there's more to it than just them delaying because they can. However it won't be possible to know things for sure till 2021 and how big the lineup for Switch is that year.

He said the truth, but Japan was backing to normality in May already. It could explain a delay of 1 or 2 months (March, April) but it has been over for quite some time. Unless some games had REALLY tight deadlines there is not reason for delaying games for months and months

You could be right. I don't know anything about what's actually going on at Nintendo so for right now I'll go with it being a mixture, 2020 was gonna be overall on the weaker side like 2018 but it was made even weaker by covid. How much weaker exactly I am unsure about. If the pattern started by 2017 continues though this means 2021 should hopefully be a strong year.
