Assuming this could be reconciled with the various licences and whatnot (I have not read them but there are plenty of projects that do similar things) then seems like they made an offer for some work and/or software. Hardly unprecedented (see something like the moonshell author's sakura stuff back on the DS) or unethical, or indeed something that might be defined as a bribe. It is not an entirely unreasonable bid for such things either.
For the sake of the nascent Switch homebrew community I guess I am glad it is to remain open, and this may see some discussion happen. For what it is worth I saw the DS and PSP scenes evaporate practically overnight once it became apparent IOS could return real money, and nowadays android has taken over there. By similar token we never saw a 3ds scene really arise and reach its potential. The injection of money into the game changes everything.
