Yea Nintendo are going to kill a probably 80 million install base console after 4 years. No way it will die instantly like this 2 years after having (most likely) a year of 20+ million units. Even the U stayed on the market longer and it flopped hard. Worst case scenario it will do 6 years.

2017,2018,2019,2020,2021 = 5 years.

I think they will, so they can still get ports of 3rd party games.
Dont think you ll see PS5/Xb2 ports to the current switch.

also if the switch 2, has full backwards compatability, I dont think it ll be a issue.

Switch launched in March, and the successor will presumably launch no later than November, so your situation gives a maximum of 4 years and 8 months. Compare this to Wii U, which got 4 years and 4 months.

There doesn't seem to be much logic in thinking that the massively successful Switch will be killed off nearly as quickly as the failed Wii U.
