Nintendo is old money, a Zaibatsu giant from a dystopic nation where business is funded with endless government money printing after the 90s crash. If you are ever shocked that a japanese company puts out mediocre products but have a sinister control over the market thanks to an army of lawyers, hooligan consumers and despite awful marketing, it is because they are not truly operating in the market. They are too big to fail, and the government yearly prints out a lot of new yen just so banks are leveraged enough to refinance the debt of the Zaibatsus and keep them alive and well. If Nintendo truly competed in the market, they'd easily be outskilled.
Their best games (Xenoblade) are made by third-party studios. Both recent Zeldas were mediocre Ubisoft game with even worse combat. Mario's potential was wasted on being babified. Pokémon / GameFreak is a disaster that does not require explanations.
If Nintendo truly needed to sell consoles and games, they'd be far better marketed and far more competitive. The post-2008 Nintendo quickly lost its edge because it does not need to innovate anymore. It is not operating in the market anymore.
For them, it is easier to cripple the entire industry as a whole using their money and connections than put out a new game. Crippling Palworld won't make the next Pokémon less of a disappointment or make it sell more. They need to cripple Palworld (and the entire monster-catching genre) because it showed how easy it is to outskill them.
