I did not made that up at all. The moment Nintendo annouced they expected 20M shipped for the next 12 months, most people expected Switch selling that to consumers. It's normal. If tomorrow Sony says they expect 15M shipped for next year, most people are going to expect around 15M sold to consumers too. Maybe you know the difference between shipped and sold, but most people in forums and gaming sites don't. They're always mixing one or another. And as a proof, Vandal.net has a news today like this:
https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/1350717834/switch-podria-haber-vendido-11-millones-de-consolas-en-el-ultimo-trimestre/
"Switch could have SOLD 11 millions of consoles last quarter"
When the original info is always talking about shipment numbers.
It's the way it is...

Too be fair, many expected the Switch to sorta replicate its 2017 lineup. Nintendo isn't very good at letting us know when games will be out in a reasonable time. That's the same reason why I can't make a reasonable prediction for this year, as the whole year is shrouded in mystery

Fair enough. It's really difficult to make a good prediction for the year so early indeed (for any console). But i think Nintendo saying they aimed to ship 20M consoles for the year hyped a lot of people, not only here, but everywhere, so it was normal people expected those sales.
