Whether they could have run on Wii U or not is ultimately immaterial though, because the simple fact of the matter is that they didn't, therefore the new hardware justified its existence with plenty of games available nowhere else.

Again though, Switch/Wii U is not a good example of this phenomenon because there's not a big power leap there due to the change in form factor.

The reason for a hardware to exist is to play games, whether or not they are available elsewhere doesn't really mean a thing. If the library is there, the console justified its existence. What is pointless is a console with small library, like a PS Vita or a Wii U

Wii U to Switch is the good example to prove there is a loophole in your logic. You spent 300 USD to get a console that was running Wii U games in Nintendo Switch cards, exactly what you just said would piss you off if you were a PS4 owners

The absolute majority of developers don't even have money to create games to take full advantage of PS5 specs anyway, namely almost every Japanese developer 

I guess according to console owners they should stop releasing their games on PS5, since their games are still using PS4 graphics

No, I spent $300 to play Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, and Xenoblade 2. If I could play those on my Wii U, then I wouldn't have bought my Switch.
