1. Because first-party support IS the reason to get a piece of Nintendo hardware. Even Nintendo platforms with either tons of quality third-party games, or just a sheer quantity of them, still are true to this.
2. Because at this point people accept it. They know very few first-party Switch games will go on sale or get a permanent price cut. They wanna play the game and don't want to wait years to get it cheaper. The evergreen nature keeps the price up.
