This is almost certainly correct.  Their bread is buttered by GTA Online.  The Switch really isn't setup for that.

In any case, Take Two is a big company.  The decision not to port it to Switch was made purely by the numbers.  So, something tells them that the ROI isn't there.  

You'd be surprised how these things go sometimes. Mortal Kombat for example wasn't going to be on Switch until Ed Boon (the creator of the franchise) wanted it done because he liked the Switch system. And it sold reasonably well it seems. 

Yes, there are humans involved in companies, and it often takes agitation by a single human or a small group of humans within a big organization to make something happen.

But, when something that seems to be obvious doesn't happen, it's (almost) always because the numbers didn't support it happening. Porting the biggest game ever, that is still very popular, to the most popular system on the market seems like a no-brainer. It isn't like they didn't think of it. So, it is clear that it was a numbers based decision.
