Mario Kart is a bigger launch game than a 3d Mario would be. A 3-year-old rerelease Mario Kart is the best-selling Switch game by a wide margin and continues to sell well 8 years later. It would be nice to have a 3d Mario as well, but Mario Kart is the better choice to get people buying the console at launch and it isn't even close, especially with the pak-in option.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (on Switch alone) has outsold Super Mario Odyssey + Super Mario Wonder + Super Mario 3D World/Bowser's Fury *combined*. 

A lot of people are living like 20+ years in the past with how they view Nintendo. 

It's a little more complicated.

MK is a game that everyone can pick up and plays. It itsn't necessarily always the reason of buying the console. The selling power of BOW was more important at time to kickstart the Switch.

It did not save the Wii U. At the moment it's the only asset to sell a 500€ console. They will need to fire more shots soon.
