If Square Enix can get away with selling six old as fuck Final Fantasy games at 80 dolars... why would Nintendo give their old GB/GBA Pokémon games "for free"?

Because it isn't free, it will literally bring millions more to NSO. And on top of that it will generate a lot of positive buzz which would be super valuable in a "break year" like this.

That's why I put "for free" on quote. Also, I'm willing to bet that most people interested in playing old Pokémon games and have a Nintendo Switch already have a NSO subscription in order to play the newer Pokémon games online. I don't think putting Gen 1-3 on NSO (and Gen 3 would be locked behind a second paywall) would attract too many new customers. It would be much, much more profitable to just sell them.
