They can but it's not that easy to come up with new blue ocean ideas either. Ring Fit is basically Wii Fit with more game like elements. Switch Sports is basically just Wii Sports.
They've never really been able to come up with a idea beyond these two concepts going back to even the Wii era that was a huge hit. They definitely were banking on Wii Music being huge and it didn't take, Nintendo Land wasn't really a big hit either, Nintendogs which came before the Wii fizzled on the 3DS. Labo didn't take.
And I think that's reflective in their software output ... they do do "blue ocean" type software but it's generally limited to one game per year and it's not really a big part of their marketing focus for Switch.

Your dislike of the Wii's legacy is running away with you a bit; all I said was there's clearly value in making blue ocean software. Nobody is advocating they make these games their focus. You don't need to downplay so hard.

The odd fitness game here and there is fine, when it becomes the focus and the fad bubble bursts, that's when you end up with things like the Wii U and 3DS launch window (that was supposed to be carried by Nintendogs + cats) disaster.
The Switch is a much stronger platform because it doesn't need to rely on that consumer at all.
