In fact, I believe that Nintendo released games like Smash, Splatoon, Mario Maker and maybe even Mario Kart with the expectation that they would get re-released on the Switch in order to make the investment in the game's development profitable for the company because the Wii U's paltry base was not enough to accomplish this by itself.

Smash, Splatoon, and Mario Maker didn't get re-released on Switch though, they got sequels instead.

I am sure that we can admit that there are a ton of re-used assets in these games from the Wii U, though.  I forgot to mention BotW in that list too.  I remember Sakurai say how he could never go through the stress of building another Smash game from scratch like he did on the Wii U.  Most Switch owners never owned a Wii U and we got a better game at the end by being able to build off of the assets in the Wii U installment.  It was a win-win for Switch gamers but it destroyed the Wii U's legacy as it basically has no unique experiences anymore.
