That's often true, but how can you ignore the point that they never know which games are going to be the break-out ultra hits? Iwata has confirmed that more than once.
And how can you ignore that hardware exists to sell software, not the other way around?
And that limited hardware production capacity necessitates software made specifically to appeal to existing customers, and improve the library on the whole to give long-term hardware boosts that can't be directly linked to a single game?
How do you miss all this?

Certain mistakes are excusable, such as a Wii music, there will always be some games that flop, but companies need to make course changes once failure occurs and avoid making similar games in the future, however there is no excuse for repeated failure, creating multiple 3D mario games, or making an other M game, or a skyward swrod when it was clear to anyone those would flop, is a horrible blunder by nintendo, and something that should not happen in the future, a waste of resources.
Hardware exists to give a platform upon which to sell software, but without the software, people will not buy the hardware, so its still software that sells the hardware, the hardware is the platform for the games, if no compelling software exists, people will not buy the hardware.
Except hardware moving games do a far better job of giving long term boosts and improving the library than non hardware moving games

You don't get to define what a flop is, or what constitutes a waste of resources. Iwata has made it clear multiple times that all gamers need to be catered to, by Nintendo themselves where possible, even if those gamers like tiny, niche games.
Your philosophy runs counter to Nintendo's.
You do not get to decide what constitutes a worthwhile usage of their resources.
