I don't think Nintendo hates third party, but I do think they go with novel hardware that changes the way gamers play.  And that doesn't always fit third party plans.  

It depends. The N64, GameCube, and Wii all had weird, non-standardized button/control layouts which were great for some games, but not so great for others. Meanwhile, even with the Switch's Joy-Con controllers, you still get a pretty standard controller setup out of the box. So Nintendo systems generally have the best third party support when they balance innovative controller features, with conventional norms.
