I don't think why everyone thinks it will be called Switch 2. Nintendo never set a number behind its systems. When i worked in a videogamesstore there was one guy from Nintendo distribution calling it Switch Up. That was long ago. Back when people called me crazy for predicting a later release date than march 2023. Even back then i would have bet my head that there would be no earlier release date than march 2025. 

Back to topic: I don't think its called Switch 2. Of course there is a possibility but i don't think its a lock. I remember Nintendo DS 2, Xbox 2, PSP 2 and we know how that turned out.

I am not saying 100% it will be called Switch 2. But that is the easier name to use for now till it get announced (if it actually different name). But Switch Up is not confirmed either. And in cases like these it's just easier for everyone to just put 2 and use it as it is. It is why also the system after DS was called DS2 before it got announced, the same with xbox 2 psp 2 and so on.
