My thinking is that PC sales have not been majorly significant for them, and they started worrying that they might go the way of Xbox if they keep going like this. It's basically the same question, why have a Playstation/Xbox if you can get everything on PC.
They know that Nintendo's success is based mostly on exlusives, it's a first party machine. So they are thinking, don't be like Xbox, be like Nintendo and you will survive.
Of course, for that to happen, they would need to wisen up and start doing what they used to be good at and release the kind of games they built their reputation on. This travesty with GaaS needs to fade out, at least insofar as it significally hinders developing single player games.
