I think Nintendo keeps financing games like Xenoblade, Bayonetta and Astral Chain to keep the library of the Switch with diversity and to keep critical acclaim, for them it's important to not repeat the Wii years when they started to turn too much toward the casual crowd at the end of the console.

They want people to know that there are more serious looking game on Switch. That's why they are bringing back Metroid too, despite the serie not selling as much as other series.

It's all about finding a good balance. Nintendo release somes games to make a lot of money and other to build the library.

Nintendo would love Bayonetta or Xenoblade to have a big breakout moment, but that not why the series are continued.

I agree with if you. There is no need for a game like Xenoblade to sell 5 million copies. It pays itself and helps to diversity the hardware library, for all purposes it's a successful game as it is and I see no reason for Nintendo to see it as disappointment 

Yes, that's what is good with Nintendo, I mean Microsoft would have shelved both Xenoblade and Bayonetta and closed Monolith for good.
