Here's an interesting tidbit:

According to Nintendo, sales for the regular Switch model are actually up from last year. It's the Switch Lite that's WAY down. Bringing overall Switch sales down in the process.

Hardware
5.68 mil units -> 4.45 mil units -21.7 %

Nintendo Switch 3.05 mil units -> 3.31 mil units +8.3 %

Nintendo Switch Lite 2.62 mil units ->1.14 mil units -56.7 %

Honestly, the Switch OLED really should be replacing the Lite model while the regular Switch model gets a price cut.

That completely derails the argument that the Switch is only desirable as a handheld and that 90% of Switch users don't even use it docked.  The hypothetical masses of people who wanted a handheld only Switch never appeared in the numbers that one would expect if that was the case.
