So... Nintendo need to give their stuff away for less money? Not much insight there.

They start with "Nintendo should make graphics like Xbox". Which also has no insight, and completely misunderstands Nintendo's markets. People who want graphics are buying XBOX and PS5. Nintendo isn't playing that game (and should not even try IMO).

Then they go on to "Nintendo should have GamePass". Again, no insight and no understanding of Nintendo's market. Nintendo work on branding, and aiming at kids. Kids get limited time on consoles, and parents want control over what they play. Also, kids get games as birthday presents, or buy them with pocket money. Parents do not want a Netflix that they don't control.

Again, all the people who want this.... will NEVER buy Nintendo. So how would doing this benefit Nintendo?

What makes you say they'd never buy Nintendo?

They would never buy Nintendo because they say they want to play Witcher 3 and then go through all of their favorite spotty-teenage-gamer features that Xbox and Playstation have.  Even if Nintendo had those features, even the most rabid Nintendo fanboy would say "you know what:  you should buy Xbox"

Turning the Switch into "sort of like an Xbox, but not really as good as an Xbox" isn't going to make people who want Xboxes buy Nintendo consoles. More likely, Nintendo's real customers would be turned off by it.
