I very much doubt it's a time sensitivity issue. Just Dance 3, 4 and 2014 are still available for digital purchase for both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One (I can easily check this, I can't easily check for Playstation and Wii U. Note: Only 2014 and forward were released on the One, so 3-4 are not available there). Why not Just Dance 1 and 2? They were not released on Xbox.

I'm pretty sure the licensing is in perpetuity but limited in scope. As in "For Just Dance 4, for as long as it will be offered" or for a period of time that may as well be in perpetuity (10-20-30 years).

However, the songs were only licensed for the platforms they were licensed for. It's most likely why JD3 and JD4 weren't released on Xbox One. And it's also most likely why JD1-2016 most likely will not be released on the Switch. The cost to re-negotiate and re-license the songs for the Switch + the cost to port the games over would most likely far exceed the profit Ubisoft would bring in through sold copies of JD1-2016. And some type of "Best Of" game would be entirely meaningless, seeing as how we already have JDU.
