I want to be petty and say this is the Monkey's Paw effect of people complaining about not releasing Metroid Trilogy instead of Metroid Remastered, but that would be a stretch. I will say I much prefer the possibility of having 3 quality remasters in 3 seperate releases at the Metroid Remastered price; in this case releasing the 3 games seperately and cheaper for people who just want the physical copy of Arkham Knight's impossible port.

Bayonetta somewhat got the best of both worlds, originally packed as a download code with Bayonetta 2 but at least it didn't require you to have the Bayonetta 2 cart, and eventually releasing again on cart for cheap.

Obviously there's also a difference between 1st party and 3rd party support, and I doubt Nintendo care enough to reign these publishers in when these games aren't going to be major system sellers. Just having the games on Switch already does the job for Nintendo's market appeal.
