Over 3 years in, Switch is still missing basic features.

Not one of these is a basic feature, several aren't even gaming system features.

I think if a potato like the Wii had some form of Netflix and Internet Browser, it's very basic and the industry standard. If the majority of video game hardware that gets released has something, it's basic feature and industry standard. 

Ethernet, while not ever built into Nintendo hardware, is an industry standard for video game hardware. Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS TV, and PS5 all have ethernet ports. Even small-scale crowdfunded hardware like Ouya and Atari VCS does.

You don't have to care about the features. You don't ever have to use them. But almost all are basic and gaming industry standard features.

Netflix is an application, not a feature.

Ethernet's probably the closest example of a basic feature on that list, but it's not basic because WiFi has made it unnecessary since the Wii. Also, it's available as an add-on for the Switch.
