Yep, seems plausible they looked at the Series S and said "OK well this is the baseline for this generation of games, we'll go with that and add 2GB on top to give some room to stretch". Seems very reasonable, probably overkill for Nintendo's own games if anything.
UFS 3.1 is a monstrous upgrade over the Switch 1 and PS4 era systems too and fast enough to handle anything from the PS5/XSX, as you said 2100MB/sec read speed versus 160MB/sec is night and day.
