Take a look at the Eshop, indies are outselling major titles like Skyrim and Doom with ease. Rocket League and Stardew Valley are constantly in the top 5. 

I've heard quite a few people say they bought a Switch to enjoy all these indies on a portable machine. 

One indie might not sell a console, but hundreds of good indie games will most certainly. 

Take a look at Fe, it looks promising:

Nobody (or no significant amount of people) are gonna run out and buy a $300 USD system to play indies, especially not when they can play those same games on every other major platform. For instance, decent indie support didn't exactly help the Vita or the Wii U.

Systems are moved by big-name killer apps, games like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, or Monster Hunter in Japan. So far though, there aren't any killer apps confirmed for Switch in 2018. 

That's because those consoles didn't have decent indie support. 

A lot of indies run below par on the Vita as well.

You said Switch's 2018 so far is comparable to Wii U's 2013. Trust me, it's not. Wii U's indie support was pretty bad and it missed out on a lot of good games.
