Does Nintendo suck at making "Core gamer" consoles?

The funny thing about all consoles is that they are all filthy casual machines compared to PC. No console will ever out-spec PC gaming. You can use all controllers and control methods on PC. Even games that release with bad ports or in a crappy state that don't get patched by the dev will get modded by the community, to say nothing of all of the other QoL and extra content mods. Sony and Microsoft put their own first party AAA games on PC, and emulators eventually cover everything that doesn't come to it. PS5 and X Series are lame PC knock-offs at this point. And gaming online only costs what you pay your ISP. The only reason to own a PS5 is for PS+. The only reason to own an Xbox is for... convenience of not needing to build your own PC.

So Switch isn't alone going by that logic of stripping away reasons to own a Switch. Why game on anything that isn't a PC?

Most people that play games do just that, they play games. No one plays specs.

And while PC has the potential (specs wise) to make games that differ from consoles not a singel one does that. They just waste the power on graphics, not game play elements. 

Acshually... I would argue games like Dwarf Fortress utilize the specifics of PC hardware very well. It has no graphics at all (the original, the Steam version now add graphics), but very involved simulation mechanics that can even bring powerful PCs to their limits. Consoles would be even more in trouble, as Dwarf Fortress barely uses the graphics card, but relies heavily on CPU computation and lots of RAM.
