I am pretty sure Nintendo wants you to buy a Switch, if only for Breath of the Wild or Super Mario Odyssey. But as said, a Wii U version of Breath of the Wild was released since Wii U users were promised a new Zelda experience from the start (the HD Zelda ports is not what you should count as a new experience).
Besides, there are other great titles than Breath of the Wild for the Wii U, such as Super Mario Maker or Super Mario 3D World. Through nowadays quite a few Wii U games gets ported to the Switch (Bayonetta series, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors). If this trend is to continue titles such as Super Mario Maker and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS might receive a Deluxe upgrade for the Switch as well.
I don't really get what you mean with that, but emulators are definitely not meant for playing illegally obtained games. That it does happen regardless of an emulator's intention is another story. In my opinion an emulators allows for to overcome the hardware limitations that the console itself struggles with. Come on, who doesn't want 4K gaming, borderless gaming, an all-in-one desktop environment and texture packs? Ohh and custom controller support. And a lot more. Another major reason is preservation. Consoles die out eventually and won't be in production at some point. An emulator ensures the games you once bought still are capable of being experienced long after the actual device is gone.
