Nintendo aren't that hands on with their partners, they don't really enforce their technical preferences on them; in the Switch 1 era for instance Nintendo almost entirely eschewed anti-aliasing, yet they didn't mandate that say Monolith Soft or Next Level not use it in their games, DLSS seems to be the same.

What is "Nintendo" in your view? Monolith Soft and Next Level are first party developers and not "partners" in my opinion. Monolith Soft in particular has touched so many Nintendo games as co-developers in addition to Xenoblade.

Game Freak on the other-hand is "second party" or "third party" depending on how you want to classify them. 

Nintendo's internal studios, EPD, are the ones who seem to be avoiding stuff like DLSS, (or AA last gen) external first party studios like Monolith Soft, Retro, and Next Level Games have always had different priorities.
