You do realize re-buying old games is optional, you don't actually have too.  You can stick with new content like Pokemon Snap 2, Bravely Default 2, etc.

It isn't like the Switch doesn't have original content.  Mario Odyssey, Pokemon S/S, Luigi's Mansion 3, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, Octopath Traveler, Astral Chain, Link's Awakening, Mario vs Rabbis, Origami King, Trials of Mana, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Splatoon 2, .

If you only own 3 games and yourswitch is "collecting dust" since launch, too each their own.  But there are some quality games you simply haven't picked up.

And we have Monster Hunter Rise coming out shortly.

There's been adequate new content on the whole, but in my personal opinion there's not enough quality first party content. 

In (almost) 4 years of the Switch the only 1st party games I've found worth getting are Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, Luigi's Mansion 3, Age of Calamity, and Yoshi's Crafted World. I'll be generous and throw in BOTW since that was a new release even though I bought it on Wii U. That's 7 games in 4 years.

By comparison, in the first 4 years of the Wii U I bought Mario 3D World, Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Captain Toad, and Yoshi's Woolly World, so 8 games.

Thankfully, Wii U never had this many great third party games.

I think this is more of a result of Nintendo randomly not making games that fit your own personal tastes for the Switch. Their 1st Party output has been much better than Wii U's this gen due to portable franchises like Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Poke'mon, and Luigi's Mansion leaving the 3DS for the Switch. I do agree that there have been disappointing years for the Switch though. 2018 and 2020 were pretty bad in terms of new quality 1st party content.
