Yes.
Keep in mind N64 and GameCube were part of the graphics race but had quirks. N64's storage size for games was severely limited by cartridges. GameCube was somewhat limited by the miniDVD. I don't think Wii being around as powerful as a 360 and PS3 would've done enough if it didn't have the casual games. And even if it had the casual games, it would be an unnecessary cost.
And with the hybrid nature of Switch and Switch 2, you simply can't have them as powerful as Xbox and PlayStation.
We might win as gamers if Nintendo had powerful home consoles and handhelds, but it would not be the right business decision for Nintendo, I think. Nintendo would still have quirks the way they deal with third-parties and the better specs might not be enough to get almost all the multiplats the competition gets.
