Does it make sense? Emulation is going to happen one way or another. If Nintendo sold a GC controller that is PC compatible, they'd at least make some money from those buyers.

It will. But for the first run you don't want people buying the console and paying for the switch GameCube access to have to ability to buy a GC controller. It's like how for sports teams season ticket holders usually get some first access to buy playoff tickets.
