"Nintendo makes consoles only for Nintendo games" Myth or fact?

Yes but that's the way games work these days everything is ported to all hardware. Look at steamdeck it only sold 3 million yet everything runs on it for the most part, that doesn't really tell you anything about how much effort Nintendo to get thirdparty support and with switch 2 being so late it just confirms to me anyway that they don't care.

Maybe, just maybe... Developing new game platforms takes multiple years and tons of resources, on top of a global pandemic that kicked off the decade, which caused a ton of chip shortages and game delays.

I don't think that excuse holds any water. Ps5 came out at the end of 2020, switch 2 coming out end of 2023 should not be a issue.
