The question is:

Does Nintendo WANTS to combat rising software prices?

Clearly, they do not want to. While they haven't always been an instigator of increasing prices (they usually follow in that regard), they are by far the worst offender of milking gamers for every possible dollar they can. There ain't no chance in hell they want to stop the increase in prices of games. They'd stick a vacuum right in your pocket and suck the cash out of your wallet if they thought they could get away with it. 

I'm a fan of Nintendo games. So, I buy their stuff. But, from the gamer's perspective, I find them to be the least gamer friendly of all the major video game companies.  They're spending less to develop games, and charging higher average prices for those games (because they keep the prices of the games high for years after release). They also sold many millions of units of a known faulty product (joycons) for 10 years, and continue to sell them.  They could have developed new joy-cons at least 7 years ago to take care of this issue. But, they chose to keep selling a product that they knew to be of poor quality. It's one of the scummiest things I can think of a video game company ever doing.

I really don't like their business practices.
