A wrenches don't have much functionality, and they make terrible toys.

Whilst lacking in features and functionality, the things it does do, it more or less does very well.
The Switch:
Boots quickly
Has a fast, clean, modern UI, that seamlessly blends touch and button inputs
Handles updates well
Has a nice, easy way of archiving software

The Switch lacks some very important features; the features it does have, are generally fairly polished.
There is a strong base to add to with the Switch, the WiiU was just awful.

Have you given a wrench to a baby? Makes for an awesome toy.

Switch seems more like a natural evolution that merely kept up with the time than anything that's definitively better. Wii U, at the time it was coming out, also was a comparably good and fast system. Switch is quantitatively better than the Wii U in most aspects, no question, but comparably to all the other tech out there it just feels like a new polish that barely kept up with the time rather than being fundamentally more developed or improved to the previous platform. Then again, I could say the same about the other current gen consoles as well.

Now this discussion feels pointless^^

I have given my Switch to some children.

As for wrenches, I find it to be a bit hard for children to chew.
Sad really: they are hard to break, teeth are not.

The Switch has a more modern architecture than its peers (consoles), but lacks things like a high resolution, glass, OLED display.
It feels like less of a toy when compared to the current consoles, but is a joke when compared to a high end phone.
That is just the console market.
