The GameCube tried too hard to be "Edgy"

Yeah, they were desperate for sure. It was a bit of an awkward time for Nintendo. I would say Nintendo was trying to be edgy with the N64 at times as well. They just gave up and depended more on third parties to fill that void with the Wii, WiiU and Switch. Which is probably the better option...although I would like to see some more mature Nintendo games.

Well you do have Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Metroid Dread, Bayonetta 3, and Astral Chain, even BotW and TotK are fairly mature. And next month we're getting remakes of Another Code. It's not that Nintendo's given up on appealing to mature audiences first party wise. They just rightfully abandoned the GameCube style of tryhard edginess.

Yeah, I was thinking more games like Eternal Darkness. Hopefully they will try something like that again. Such a masterpiece.
