It's a bad thing the Switch isn't being sold at a loss?

Of all the criticisms I've seen of the Switch, this is one of the criticisms I don't really get. 

 

I mean I can get paid internet being controversial, that the game lineup isn't as top heavy as a Rob Liefeld character, or that the Switch isn't running 4K, even if just minutely. But being mad Nintendo isn't selling at a loss seems....manufactured. 

 

Like complaining the Switch can't cook pop-tarts or something. 

Quick question:  Do we know that the Switch is not being sold for a loss.    How would we even qualify that without knowing R&D costs and the like... let alone the total production costs?  We can't know the answer to this at all... so yes a complaint about it would be completely manufactured.
