Why did Capcom go all-in on the Dreamcast when most third parties were more cautious?

Because they have a good relationship with Sega. Their games were worth playing on the Dreamcast. Other third parties were cautious because of the potential piracy, which ended up becoming a reality. Thus killing the Dreamcast.

Porting games is not expensive and the nature of the Dreamcast's hardware made it even easier.
Perhaps Capcom thought the Dreamcast would be the next big thing.

Since half of these aren't exclusives to the Dreamcast, Capcom didn't put all their eggs in one basket anyway and was just really productive in terms of porting.

and it was outsourced to a third rate developer, Capcom didn't want to waste their staff time on making a game for the Shitcast

Some of these games are NAOMI arcade conversions.
I think they wanted to benefit from the strongest console hardware at the time, like Namco did with SC1, instead of being limited to PS1 hardware.

Capcom was excited that the Dreamcast could run all their arcade ports fairly well.

I think it started before the Dreamcast. Capcom released a lot of very good games on the Saturn. Once they broke free of the exclusivity and/or restrictions from Nintendo, they first tested the waters with B-team ports of SFC games to MD/Genesis. It is hard to deny the large audience of Sony consoles, but they really seemed to put more effort in supporting other platforms which allowed for more freedoms that benefit their art. I think it was the Dreamcast which also brought SNK to go in with them too that made it the choice platform, as Capcom already influenced Sega's controller designs prior.

My guess is that they just thought it wasn't a big deal to do dreamcast games when they're already so successful with the naomi.

The Dreamcast did better in Japan and in particularly had more of a captive market for ports of arcade games/ arcade style games because that's what the Japs like. Capcom makes a lot of arcade games and is Japanese so of course they went all in

Because it was the first console that could do 1:1 (kinda) ports from arcade, plus Sega and Capcom had a very good relation since the Saturn

Japan has less than 1/3 of the north american population. It sold better in terms of percentage there at least
