I don't remember where I read that the main problem was that Nintendo was competing with Apple, not directly but indirectly since a bunch of the components the Switch uses are used for Apple products therefor there's a shortage of components and that hurts the production for the Switch.

"According to people in the industry, smartphone makers -- namely Apple -- and their increasing ramp-up on component manufacturing for high-end devices have led to dwindling supplies of Nintendo Switch. "
