There is Ubuntu, Fedora, Android and they are all ARM compatible platforms.
There is Windows 10 ARM and we do not have distribution on Nintendo Switch.
Is there any explanation?

windows on arm is closed source, someone would need to make it work for that specific platform same reason why there isnt window son arm for every other arm device like your mobile or the nvidia shield etc etc

Because Windows for ARM needs an UEFI bootloader the Switch doesn't have and there are no drivers at all for the hardware. For Linux and Android drivers are already available.
