Well, OpenMW (an open source Morrowind engine) is open source and thus could be ported to the Switch, it just hasn't been and I don't know any plans for it to be ported. I don't know of any open source projects for Oblivions, so it's rather doubtful that it can/will be ported to the Switch.
To port:
1- obtain source code and resources (sound/graphics/text/etc)
2- convert the latter to an appropriate format for the desired platform, if needed or convenient for the next step
3- adapt the former to the desired platform (you may have to iterate between the previous 2 steps)
4- do a decent testing job (you may have to iterate between the previous 3 steps)
5- release!
To create a simulation:
1- obtain resources (sound/graphics/text/etc)
2- convert the latter to an appropriate format for the desired platform, if needed or convenient for the next step
3- play the original game (and refer to walkthroughs) to learn the mechanics
4- use materials and knowledge obtained in the previous steps to write a game from scratch that, to your best effort, looks and plays like the original
5- do a decent testing job (you may have to iterate between this and the previous step)
6- release!

If someone wants to do it, they will do it on their own time and terms, unless you are willing to pay someone and or create a team of people willing to take on this kind of project.

something about ea reverse engineering the genesis so they could make their games there+1 -

if they get permission from 4j (the studio who helped put minecraft on consoles), they could put the console edition tutorial worlds in the game, as seeds+1
and i mean all of them (if not, maybe a few highlights, like TU1, TU31, and TU69) -
