They tried taking a loss on systems last gen. Didn't work out for them.
OT: I dont understand how making the internal storage small is greedy. An inconvenience, sure, but they don't sell proprietary memory cards.
There are dissapointing things, and I believe their lack of communication for basic console-details is the biggest sin, and overall dumb. But every console launch is flawed. You honestly believe Nintendo is under-producing Switches (or any product) on purpose, after the gigantic, pathetic, and embarrasing failure that the Wii U, heck all of last gen was? You have to be really nuts to think that.
Those were the points that annoyed me. Others were fair (#1, #10, #11), some I won't bother (#2, #6, #7). But I do believe one thing. Nintendo has been listening a lot to their fans lately (you can clearly see it with BotW, and even Splatoon 2), so I'm pretty sure they're also looking at feedback for this console launch. Year 1 already looks promising with a very consistent release schedule; they can only go up from here (unless we talk about the Wii U).

Something is very wrong with your system when your storage is too small to hold just one of your games. Making the storage big enough to fit at least every game without having to buy extra storage for yourself is very greedy, yes.
People give Sony and MS shit that they can't fit more than 10 big games on their storage and Nintendo can't even handle one. What's worse, they did that last gen as well so they didn't even react to consumer criticism. That is just reprehensible. It's spitting into your loyal customer's faces. Making your main product cheap and then force the customer to make up for it with more hidden costs is a shady busines tactic and deserves to be called out.
They could've just made the storage 64G but that would've made them a few cents less on the console. That was already too much for them.

It's not hidden costs, it's optional cost, you aren't forced to buy it for the system to work. I mainly buy physical and prob won't need to expand my storage for about 2 years at least.
