Nintendo are really lucky that they can keep selling revisions but it also explains the weak attach ratio.

It's currently 10th all time (out of 31) in attachment ratio with 8.39 games sold per console according to this, which doesn't seem that bad. It's about 1.5 fewer games than the PS2 sold per console, which is 5th place all time on that list.

I'm not sure what the data suggests but I would think attachment ratio tends to go up the longer a console is on the market, so I'd assume it will end with a higher attachment ratio than it already has.

Don't let yourself get confused by a troll post. Switch's software tie ratio is more than fine.

Indeed, tie ratios grow over time. And as you've already noticed, Switch's current LTD figure isn't far off from the PS2's lifetime figure anymore. What's additionally to consider is that Nintendo does not count digital-only releases toward their reported software total.

As for the site you linked, it's highly suspicious how high Sega consoles rank on the list. Especially because none of the source links provide concrete software figures from Sega themselves. But it's far for the course that real sales information for the vast majority of consoles in video game history is very hard to impossible to come by.
