So GTA V never came to the Switch...

Developing for the Switch would divert resources from GTA VI or other games.

While Switch is higher tech than PS3/360, developers prefer to work with the newest tech available. So being less powerful than PS5 or XB Series would discourage them from porting to Switch rather than PS5/XB.

Switch being different infrastructure also makes porting annoying.

There are studios that exist just for ports. Rockstar could have easily outsourced the port if they really wanted to, but they don't care.

That budget could be used for other games to be ported though, rather than the 10 year old game.
