Actually, if you watch the DF video in its entirely, they cover multiple ways in which it is superior to PS4.

They certainly don't "hate gamers", they're no different than any other company in that they exist to make money.

I was being a bit facetious when saying they hate gamers. I just think Nintendo has always had a stubborn streak where they refuse to give gamers what they want even when there is seemingly no downside for them. (see their glacial progress on the online side of things, or abandonment of certain fan-favourite franchises)

I feel that Sony & MS tend to listen more to fan feedback and give them what they want more.

I guess the proof would be in the pudding, but can you seriously see a souped up 'Switch 2 Home' costing a fraction of the base console not selling at least 20+ million units? What was that stat that was knocking around a while back about the number of Switch owners playing exclusively docked? Was it not around a third?

$450 will give a lot of people pause. $100 / $150 / $200 is much more in the 'why the hell not' territory.
