OP's got some good points, economically it doesn't make sense to buy Switch ports when they are considerably cheaper on PS4, but the thing is portability. For example, I work all day, when I get home I got chores to do, after I'm done with everything I rather go to bed and play with the Switch for a while than go to the game room and seclude myself there to play with the PS4. So, I guess, my point is for some people the portability factor outweighs the price difference. Ohh and BTW none of the games you got were free, you paid money for the PS4 that you traded in so there's that...

Yeah, I benefit from it too.  That is why I also use remote play on my VITA quite often.  I know the portability is a big factor for many, it is why I nearly got Wolfenstein 2 for Switch instead.  However when I ended up going a different route, it made me question if there are enough people that value to portability as 3rd party sales are down for most ports  mainly for being late ports at higher prices.  Just because it may benefit a number of people, if it does not resonate with enough players to justify the extra cost, devs will see no point in making the port at all.  With that in mind, it is a huge problem for Switch ports regardless of how convenient they may be for you or I.

 

And the free thing...figure of speach dude lol.  It feels free to me because my launch PS4 has been around for so long, getting rid of it as it no longer served a purpose allowed me to get the games without spending money from my bank account.  Do not read too much into it. ;)
