Haha, I see now.
I suspect they're concern trolling and straight up troll-trolling.
But anyway, Nintendo COULD release a console like that, but why dump all the money into creating a piece of hardware that will probably do more to confuse old parents and impulse buyers than to find a new base of happy customers.
Yes, Nintendo did release the 2DS, but that was largely responding to a widescale demand from parents who wanted to get a new handheld for their young children - since there was widescale panic from tabloids about 3DS potentially capable of blinding children. There isn't any such demand for some kind of non-Switch Switch. Also, 3DS to 2DS is an easy product name, I don't think the "Non-Switch" is a very appealing sounding product for anyone. Additionally, the 2DS is capable of playing all the 3DS games, since 3D was not essential to gameplay; this is not true about the Joy Cons, which are the only controllers that work with every game on the Switch.
