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.

Cardboard must also be expensive these days.

The product description reads like a streaming device, not something that does all of the actual processing. Is this really comparable?

It uses the same SoC as the Switch, and is clocked higher.
In other words: it is a fair bit faster than the Switch.
Though the Switch does have an extra GB of RAM.
