Whether it would be Nintendo or another company to release it, I believe there's still a potential demand for a classic handheld device for pure "pick up and play" experiences.
The problem is there wouldn't be enough developers to potentially support it. A console like that would be too different from any other avaliable platform and developers are too risk adverse nowadays to publish a game they can't release on multiple systems.

A handheld only Switch Mini would fall into this categry.

While the switch is the closest thing to it in the market, it's not exactly what I would define a pure "pick up and play" system, that imo would be a game system that could boot up, start and finish a play session in the span of 15 minutes. The Switch, for good reasons since it's an hybrid device, is designed for more immersive experiences and longer play sessions.
