Nintendo is a special case. Their entire business model is based around their first-party games only being available on their systems. As a result, piracy is a much much bigger threat to their business model than it is to anyone else.

(Beyond that I feel that there's a cultural thing where the people calling the shots at Nintendo just hate piracy a lot more than most other companies - they've always been weirdly aggressive about it. But it's not totally irrational - they really depend hard on games like BotW only being available on their systems.)
