Relative to its predecessor the 3DS and to other mobile devices Switch was also capable for its time. It's not really apples to apples to compare a mobile device to dedicated consoles. You have to take the sort of machine it is into account.

As for its price in the US, I mean, why would they cut the price when it's still selling like it is? People are clearly quite happy paying $300 for one.

Gotta be honest here. I kinda miss when there were two separate Nintendo platforms. You knew that when you bought both, you were (for the most part) getting two entirely different things. Different UI. Different apps. Different games etc. It was fun. 

The thing is that Nintendo would've come up with a slighlty more powerul console than the Wii U in any case, so making it also portable was the best choice they could have.
