Motion controls are no more core on Wii than Switch. On Wii they "seem" more core to the console because they were new and very hot at the time but once you sit back and think about it, Switch truly makes the same use of them and if amything took it even futher. Very few games forced it and many of them were optional on both. So no Switch will not drop motion because it is core. Switch is Wiis direct descendent and Nintendo was definitely aiming to make Switch as much like Wii as possible.

Wii Sports and Nintendo Switch Sports had forced motion. 

Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe both have the same options.

Wii Fit and Ring Fit Adventure have similar use of motion but are designed around their respective add ons. 

Wii Play and Labo offer unique usage of motion controls.

Skyward Sword was desugned around motion but so was Arms.

Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Odyssey had motion controls. Galaxy actually had far less lol, have you seen the amount of moves Mario could do in Odyssey? Some of the moves are motion only such as throwing the hat (not the hat capturing).

Motion controls are just as core to Switch as to Wii except motion controls were vastly more popular on Wii due to it being new.
