Don't think you should assume a lack of pro was due to Nintendo not caring about upgrading hardware. They have certainly done it before with New 3DS for example. The lack of pro could very well be due to the covid lock downs, the lock downs that Sony and MS suffered from. Why would Nintendo want to face those same issues?

They would not suffer those issues  cause this is not a new system launch and the pro would probably sell to  20% of the audience that want better graphics like the ps4 pro. Meaning at best 5-7 million a year. they would not suffer shortages.

Pretty sure Oled has done far better than that and has completely dominated Switch shipments since its release. PS4 Pro never did what Oled has done. A stationary console just doesn't have as much to upgrade making them harder to sale. A portable platform like Switch can have a very attractive upgrade such as power, screen, battery, etc. You are grossly underestimating how unattractive to Nintendo it is to get in the middle of all the lockdowns. Nintendo literally upgraded 3DS and you are doubting they wouldn't have done the same for Switch? Didn't they upgrade DS as well? Ps4 Pro isn't in ant way comparable to Oled, Oled was far more successful.

Edit: Thanks to @pierre485 at installbase forum. Oled definitely sales better than 5 to 7 million a year. It has sold about 24 million in two years. All without the Switch's peak year (2020) and coming at the end of the pandemic lockdowns. Now imagine if it was 399.99 with everything Oled has and a power boost.
