Because they're not Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft, or a big developer (like Sega or Bethesda or what have you). Simple as that honestly. Not to mention they normally do a terrible job of articulating what the product is to the average consumer, let alone getting the word out to them. Steambox as well, no one wants to buy a third-party console anymore, the market has chosen its front-runners. This is also why I think if Apple ever tried to make a console it would fail miserably.
That being said I'm still surprised Switch is doing as well as it is, despite being the biggest Nintendo fanboy I know I wholeheartedly wasn't sold on the concept of the console. Then again I've also never once used the Switch as a handheld device, only as a home console so perhaps some of its draw was lost on me.
