Nintendo Switch is perfectly viable as a primary or even only gaming device...

The Switch IS viable as the only gaming device. I plan on making the Switch as my only gaming device for generation 9. It already has games that I like coming out faster than I can play them. I expect the third party releases to only accelerate at this point too. I may even keep playing Switch into generation 10 if it continues at this rate. The last time I was this happy with a console was the NES.

Yeah, people have different tastes. And Switch caters to a lot of tastes the other consoles don't do.

Personally I regularly (once a year or so) check for myself if I want a PS4. Currently my wanted games are Persona 5 and Witcher 3. Not enough to justify the purchase.

Switch tends to get the old school games or games based on old school genres like Axiom Verge, Dragon Quest Builders and Octopath Traveler.  It's also the best console for local multiplayer.  Like I would never buy Puyo Puyo Tetris on a PS4, because I already know I'm going to spend money to get extra Switch controllers for games like Mario Kart and Smash.  So that really makes it the go to console for local multiplayer.  So, yeah Switch suits my gaming tastes really well.  And on multiplat games, I prefer Switch because the games I like usually don't have cutting edge graphics anyway.  Switch hardware is more than enough graphically and it's portable.

On the other hand I have a PS4, but have been just so disappointed with it.  So far the only exclusive I really like is the Spider-Man game which I am playing right now.  Everything else has been disappointing and slim pickings.  Assuming Sony continues this trajectory, then I have no interest in a PS5, even though I've had PS1 - 4.

So, obviously it depends on taste, but there are a lot of people out there who have a taste for Switch games.
