Nintendo's issue in trying to develop for two different platforms was due to having completely different hardware for mobile and home console.
Nintendo can resolve that issue entirely by releasing a Switch/Switch 2 variant that removes all that mobile functionality and have it as a fixed home console that has the exact same internal Switch/Switch 2 hardware to run one set of games across multiple form factors. (Pure Handheld, Dockable Handheld {It's not a Hybrid} and fixed home console.)
It also resolves the longevity issue as Lithium batteries will eventually fail/bloat leading to improved game preservation... It would also resolve the other issue of price as you are significantly reducing the bill of materials.
Honestly though, I have no issue with the transition, I just hate the Game Key Card idea... Which I hate just as much as the code-in-a-box idea, if I want a digital library, I would buy a digital library, I don't want a digital copy inside a physical release.
