The Switch is more complex.
A Switch TV would not need to have things like rails to connect the Joycon.
Nintendo would not need to pack in grips, docks and the Joycon straps.

A Switch TV would greatly reduce the device's complexity, and would likely come after the main unit's first price cut.

Plastic must be really expensive these days.

It all adds up.
Someone or thing has to fit all that plastic in a box, and ship it across the world.
A Switch TV could probably fit in a box the size of a 3DS XL, that is probably much easier to ship.

If Nvidia can make a 200 USD Switch TV, Nintendo can too.
