Technically they released Tropical Freeze in the last 6-7 years, which most would consider a console cycle length (or generation), and that game has an 86 metacritic and an 85 on opencritic. Their quantity has been terrible, but as for this generation they did have one game that is highly praised.

Also, I have a strong feeling we will be getting 2-3 Retro games within 3 years as I'm confident whatever else they have been doing other than Metroid Prime 4 hasn't been entirely scraped.

If this was 2017 I might agree but in two months it will be 7 whole years since the last time they released a new game, and there have nothing announced beyond a title that may as well be vaporware. As good as Tropical Freeze was, 7 years of nothing is atrocious.

I did awknowledge it had been 6-7 years in my post, so what are you disagreeing with? That is also the length of a console cycle generation, so technically they have had a game this generation and one that's praised by most. Other studios had multiple games but we're all par or subpar rather than great. Which would you prefer?

They know they have a reputation for quality and so does Nintendo, so I think both of them want to make sure that anything Retro release meets the quality of Prime 1-3 and Tropical Freeze. Ideally they'd be able to have both quality and good pacing like Monolith Soft, and hopefully they have the kinks worked out by now and will start pumping out quality games every 2-3 years.
