It's for pirating games
Nintendo loves making us pay for their games multiple times over on every console release, so fuck ‘em.
I don't seem to recall Nintendo making me pay anything for something I didn't want.
I'm 100% in favour of emulation and whatnot, but I don't understand what your problem is.
Remakes, re-releases and ports? What's the big deal? If you had BotW on the WiiU, don't buy it on the Switch. TotK came out on the Switch, so they're still releasing new games.
Again, I love the emulation scene and I know piracy is important for game preservation. I don't understand what your complaint is, though..
