Were the Wii U owners such a tiny amount of people that providing dual console releases (like Sony does for years into a new console's life for the previous one and Nintendo had no problem with doing so before now) would make little difference to Switch sales?

It would make little difference to Switch sales, yes. It would also make little difference to total sales, because the WiiU was dead in the water for like two years before the Switch came out. Dual console releases with the Wii are worth it because there are 100 million Wiis out there - you'll probably make back the additional resources necessary. Meanwhile, the WiiU sold about two-thirds as much as the Gamecube. It was a disaster, and nobody could break even on that. Ports can not be conjured from thin air.
