Then I question whether he's really a gamer or interested in Nintendo games at all. The Mario Kart team, for example, no longer needs to make two different Mario Kart games and can use part of these resources for something else now. Arms is being made by the producer of Mario Kart for example...

Because now they can use part of their resources for something other than Mario Kart, so everyone interested in Nintendo games should care. If he doesn't care for Nintendo games then don't buy the Switch and complain somewhere else. That simple. 

Your assumptions don't line up with what Nintendo's been saying.

 

"This time, however, Fils-Aime told Wired that "3DS has a long life in front of it," and that Nintendo sees the Switch as "at its heart, it’s a home console that you can take with you on the go." That suggests the 3DS will continue to be the place Nintendo funnels games designed to be played portably, while the Switch gets games more tailored to the TV experience."

 

So no, I wouldn't expect a tangible increase in software for the Switch just because it's portable.

 

I take issue with the Switch because I do care about Nintendo games. I want access to these games but realistically I'd just leave it in its dock and buy a pro controller to use. With that in mind I just haven't seen the value in the system to justify the considerable cost.

Yeah, sure, the 3DS has a long life ahead of it lol. How gullible are you exactly? They said the same about the DS and look how that turned out.
