Nintendo suck though, their main console was so underpowered they couldnt run AAA games natively, their store is the biggest example of shovelware ever, like early days play store. Nintendo charge ridiculous money constantly for everything from peripherals and accessories to decade old ports. Speaking of ports they are overly reliant on them because their library is lacking. This is before we get into their build quality issues.
They are not a saviour, I appreciate they dont chase trends like AI and such but they will always fuck users when they can.
Nintendo has never attempted to be a graphical competitor to Sony or Microsoft. It wasn’t their MO in the 90s, 00s, 10s, or 20s. Assuming that buying a Nintendo console should put you into a game market that looks like Playstations or Xbox’s is foolhardy. You buy a Nintendo console because you like Nintendo games. Their library is not lacking whatsoever. There are dozens and dozens of quality 1st party titles for the Switch. How you feel about their corporate persona is a different conversation.

It was their MO, at least with the N64 and GameCube.
