I am worried this may become the norm from now on and that it will be impossible to get a Switch 2 for the first year or more of its life.

More needs to be done to stop preorder bots and other scalper tools.

The simple solution is to buy from brick and mortar retailers.  Scalpers can buy from there too, but it's not nearly as easy for them as buying online.  If brick and mortar retailers diminish or go away, then we'll be especially susceptible to scalpers.

This is a very important point you're making that actually pretty much solves the problem altogether. I pre-ordered my beautiful white OLED Switch at Gamestop in person. Every highly anticipated Item should only be available for pre-order in person, or at least a big portion of it should be.
