Let me ask you. Lets say you saw Switch. No controller nubs. No dock. Switch just laying on a table. And next to it was a ipad, and a samsung tablet. And along with those are a tablet from every other tablet maker. Would you be able to tell the difference? You might. But the average consumer is going to see it, and see just another tablet.
And I bet that the table used to hold all those tablets would be incredibly huge. Switch is now just one of thousands of other tablets out there. Nintendo chose this. They decided that by running away from MS and Sony and by going with a tablet, that they are now in competition with thousands of other devices. And they are late to the game with add ons that average consumers hate.
Think about it. A parent would just as easily hand their kid a ipad mini. And now they can say 'Look! It even has Mario on it.'

That's like saying you have two plastic plates. One that's white, and one with a Disney logo on it.
People know Nintendo, it's not some bogus unknown brand. People see an ipod, they know it's made by apple.
They'll see a switch, they'll know it's made by Nintendo.

Hey thats just the way I see it. Its most likely the way the average consumer sees it too. Just because Sony made a smart phone doesn't mean it sold out. Same with Windows phones and the same with lots of other things. The Google Pixel. The Facebook Rift. Nintendo Switch. Name brand doesn't matter as much since name brands have been coming out of nowhere. The Nintendo name doesn't carry weight like its 1989.
