Why would they make a dedicated home console when the Switch has been far more successful than any home console they've ever made, and especially more so than any of their power-competitive consoles?

That doesn't make it any less illogical to hold a hybrid/portable system to dedicated console standards when the two are fundamentally different. 

The hybrid form factor is the best path forward for them in terms of remaining successful, and within that form factor the Switch 2 is about as capable as one can reasonably ask for.

It would be nice, especially now with inflation and tariffs, if Nin at least sold a SW2, console only, no controller, for cheap.

Put the guts of the handheld and dock in a Wii sized (or smaller) shell and sell it for a reasonably cheaper price.

Let customers choose whether to buy the joycons and charger grip or go with the Pro controller instead.

I really don't see how Nin loses with a move like this for their next gen.

There's potentially room for a cheaper home-only version of Switch 2, and maybe we will indeed see one, but selling a console without a controller could be seen as a questionable move.
