The audience for a PS/Xbox console isn't the same as for a Nintendo device though.

The fact the Switch is one of the highest selling consoles ever shows most folks are fine with it. Investing all the R&D, money, and other complications of a whole separate system just to output the same games with better settings would be a waste of resources, because the people who care about better graphics are already well served by Playstation and aren't going to buy another console just to play portable games in 4K.

A hybrid already provides both TV and portable play, having separate devices for both is just unnecessary.

And yet I haven't touched the Switch since finishing TotK...

I would buy a standalone version and more games for the system if it looked less 'fuzzy' on TV.

Us enthusiasts who care about this stuff are a small fraction of the overall audience though.

Very few people would have bought an entire new console just to play TOTK with a sharper picture, most are either happy to play it as is, or if they care that much about graphics, they wouldn't want to play TOTK in the first place since even at 4K it will never look as good as a AAA PS5 game because it has to run on mobile hardware.
