Well, I agree that if nobody owns the IP then there is literally no harm no foul.
Again, not that I’m here advocating for the rights of the poor IP holders, but it would be important to determine if there is an owner to property to call it abandonware.
Unfortunately, Nintendo diligently patrols their interest in this matter. I believe they hold titles until they determine they can generate revenue. Part of it is trying not to saturate the market so they can continue making money off new games. Some of it is possibly due to the willingness and availability of partners.

Yeah, there’s no question that when it comes to Nintendo there is none of their IP that is now abandonware
