How do you get bedrock edition on Minecraft Nintendo switch?

Hi,
I want to play minecraft with my nephew. I'm on PC (windows 10 edition) and he is on switch (nintendo switch edition).

I read all over the place that minecraft bedrock is supposed to be a free download for NSE owners, but on the eStore they ask for 30$

is that free thing gone? or do I have to do something special.

Don't want to pay 30$ extra (I already purchased the windows 10 edition for this sole purpose) is there a way to cross play between bedrock and NSE?
