I don't know anything about this leaker and generally don't keep in tune with Rockstar news so I can't really comment on that, but as maybe some might remember in May 2024 Nintendo purchased the "port studio" Shiver Entertainment (the team that ported Hogwarts Legacy and MK1 to Switch 1, WWE to Switch 2). Their stated goal was to bring "high end ports" to the Switch/Switch 2 consoles.
Nintendo also handled publishing of the retail version of GTA Trilogy on Nintendo Switch I believe.
I dunno, but maybe Nintendo offered to fund and provide a dev studio for the port, which then makes the whole "surely they'd port to PC first!" thing moot.
EDIT: Just to add, apparently one of the employees at Shiver Entertainment posted on their work bio that they have been working on a "AAA game" port for the Switch 2 (post WWE) which is a proprietary engine with no previous implementation (on Switch 2), the engine "had to be built from the lowest level onwards". Well GTA6 would fit that as it uses a proprietary engine that isn't on the Switch 2 (RAGE 9 engine). Now that could mean any number of titles, but it would fit GTA6 as well (AAA game, proprietary engine, etc.).
