Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a scope and scale that no Vita or smartphone had.
If Nintendo tried to sell a DS type console today (something underpowered and cheap) IMO it wouldn't sell that well.
The whole thing that makes the Switch special is that it CAN play full blown console type experiences along with other types of games, but you take away the BOTWs and Mario Kart and Xenoblade type games and the system is not anywhere near as special anymore.
Smartphone gaming was cutting into mobile gaming with the 3DS and Vita, to combat that you had to go upmarket with higher end tech and deliver gaming experiences that are way better than what you can get on a phone (read: experiences that are basically console games, not "kid brother spin-off portable titles that are much smaller in scale type of experiences).

Not sure you couldn't run BOTW on the Vita. The Vita ran games pretty close to the PS3, and BOTW ran on Wii U.
I'm really not sure the point you're making in the rest. I think we agreed the Switch was successful. And yeah, being able to play console level games on the go is part of that... but you could already do that on the Switch. So, that's not going to be as exciting the second time around.

The Vita was nowhere near as powerful as the PS3, and the Wii U is slightly more powerful than the PS3 in some aspects. BOTW definitely wouldn't work on the Vita.
