This is the one aspect of the Switch 2 launch I think Nintendo really screwed up. It is clear the SW2 was aiming for an earlier release date than it actually did, and you would expect developers to have more time with dev kits, not less given that. I am sure Nintendo has its reasons, but I doubt they're very good.

This is the way the industry has always gone. Company A are underdogs, goes full-on consumer-friendly mode with affordable pricing etc until they are now market leader, then suddenly raise prices and become anti-consumer until the consumer stops buying their products, then reverts magically back to original approach... rinse and repeat. We've seen this from all three of them, and it gets tiring. You'd think they'd figure this stuff out but nope.

This is more of a developer/producer issue than a consumer one. Nintendo is much more of a developer friendly company now than it has ever been really. Of course they're not perfect, and this decision was a bad one akin to past decisions they've made. Switch 2 probably still is the easiest Nintendo platform for any developer to develop for in Nintendo's history, regardless.
