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.

Absolutely. I also expect the price will drop to 399 around the end of 2027, which would be a good time to release new models. A switch 2 lite that's dockable for 349 and a switch 2 home for 299 could be huge.

The Switch 1 got a price cut in the UK/EU in after 4 years, but not in the USA. Over 8 years after launch it is still $299 RRP. If they didn't cut the Switch price after all that time I really don't see the Switch 2 getting a price cut of $50 just 2.5 years after launch. Especially with the way everything is now.

PS5 and Xbox both receiving price hikes after launch (outside the USA at least). I think expecting any consoles to get price cuts anytime soon is wishful thinking. I'd honestly give it a higher chance of increasing in price in 2027 than decreasing.
