Leaks are dime-a-dozen, which is why I always say to take them -all- with a grain of salt... Most end up being wrong or used for clickbait articles... And the few that ended up right, well. Great. - But usually it's something obvious that many people could have predicted correctly anyway.

The leaks leading up to the NX was a prime example... People were adamant it was going to be AMD Radeon powered... Or how the Xbox Series/Playstation 5 was going to have 64GB of Ram due to past historical trends that didn't account for pricing or other influences.

Not all "leaks" are remotely the same. Eurogamer did "leak" the entire Switch concept and design months in advance. 

Shipping/customs data is a fact though, so is stuff like the Nvidia hack that has all sorts of data on the Switch 2's hardware. 

Nintendo own's financial data/balance sheet as well. 

Those are different from just "random website says XYZ". You have to look at the source and nature of the leak and then you have to look at what the track record is. 

The fact is the assembly/manufacturing factory point that makes the Nintendo Switch is taking shipments of a ton of Switch 2 components and it has surged greatly around August. That's basically just a fact. 

You are missing the point. I am not saying that there are leaks that are not genuine.
I am saying you cannot ascertain what is truth or fiction when it comes to leaks as it's not come from an official source... Normally they come from 3rd parties/unnamed sources or heresay... And yes, we get leaks delivered by digital foundry... But even they say to take it with a grain of salt.

As for the assembly/manufacturing, it's Foxconn that does all that... And they have almost 800,000 workers across the planet, working for dozens and dozens of different companies... Who often use the same components that end up being in the device we are talking about.

Again, it's not about what ends up being true in the end, it's the gamble to determine what is fact or fiction to even get there.

Remember even a broken clock is right twice a day.
