Because there is hundreds of dollars of unnecessary expense for those that won't use any of the extra features.
Cut off all the fat, sell it at a fraction of the cost... Expands the Switch platforms potential audience and makes it more appealing to low-income earners/2nd/3rd world countries/parents buying for kids. etc'.

Didn't this basically happen with PSVita?

Pretty much.

Yes, and the cost savings for consumers were $50. Might as well wait for a plain Switch price cut, if $50 are that important.

The Vita's screen was smaller, lower resolution had a smaller battery, didn't have mechanical controllers full of motion-control technology with their own independent battery's, didn't have a dock... And more.

The cost saving is likely not a representation of what could be achieved with the Switch.
