It isn't just about Rare as developers, though.
If Nintendo purchased Rare in 2001/2002, then what else do they get?
The IPs, of course.
Nintendo purchasing Rare means that Nintendo now own Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Perfect Dark, and all the rest of Rare's IPs.
It means that even if Rare goes to absolute shit under their leadership, they can still commission someone like Retro Studios to make a new Banjo or Perfect Dark game.
Those IPs were valuable and could've bolstered Nintendo's catalogue.
Imagine a world where Banjo had a new game every generation on the GameCube, Wii, Wii U, Switch and Switch 2, as well as several spin-offs.. This could've happened if Nintendo owned the IP.
