Yeah but that's because they historically have been so different than the competition. But in this case they have had their lunch eaten by the steam deck, Rog ally, etc.
I see tons of people still using the old Switch. I have so far seen none other than myself and my kid using a Steam Deck.
The Switch is a lot smaller and pocketable than those you described and is far better as a party game machine. It's also much more widely available. I don't think it's so clear cut especially if people are getting it for their exclusives. Yea, you can emulate it but there's a bit of work to get the ROMs and BIOS that the average lay person isn't really comfortable with doing.
