Because selling games yearly via subscription makes more money than a one time sale.

Seriously, I've explained this to you at least a dozen times, it is basic math.

Give it time, all games including new AAA will eventually be subscription based.  It is the future regardless if you like it.

Well would it kill them to make the subscriptions transferrable to the next generation systems?

Do you mean having all the platforms/systems announced for Switch and their games (NES/SNES/N64/Genesis) also available on Switch 2? If so, I think that is what they are building towards. For one reason or another, they are taking their time to include more games/platforms, but I don't think they would even be bothering with putting more platforms on Switch 1 at this point (4+ years into its life) if they also weren't intending on it being available on Switch 2. I think Switch 2 will launch out of the gate with at least whatever is on NSO on Switch 1, and it will have far more internal memory to be able to handle more memory taxing platforms like GameCube/Wii/3ds. It may not be until Switch 3 when they have a device with enough internal memory that Wii U/Switch 1 games could be on the subscription, if the goal remains to just have the games automatically download to every subscriber's device.
