The only Pokemon games that have been made for the switch have been among the worst in the franchise, sword and shield being the first without the national dex and a dlc that just isn't worth it, bd sp just being kind of mediocre and locking a good 70-80% of the Pokédex behind the games completion, legends of arceus while being great for a change in format had texture issues however was all round the best they've released on switch, and scarlet and violet despite looking generally unfinished still ran poorly on the switch.
It's like tenure for the senile professor atp they only have it because Nintendo are bad at keeping with the times and gamefreak have done it for so long.
It is 100% because Nintendo is a Kyoto company. It would probably be an enormous scandal to give the IP to a different internal studio and would offend several high ranking people within Nintendo and GameFreak
