In the first twenty years of my life, I saw gaming go from Atari 2600 to PS2. So you'll have to excuse me for having higher standards when it comes to innovation. I'm spoiled.

I'm not quite that old but I did see gaming go from the SNES and Megadrive to Wii/PS3/360 by the time I was 20, and having experienced Atari and NES as well, I'm very cognizant of the progress made.

Still though, it's easy to make progress in an uncharted field compared to a mature one. The age of gaming innovation moving in leaps and bounds was largely over by the time Switch 1 arrived, that's not really Nintendo's fault. I would argue Switch's hybrid form factor and the way it bridged the console and handheld audiences while making gaming more accessible and flexible was in itself one of the more innovative concepts to take hold in gaming in the past decade, actually.

As someone who is old. The games you listed were innovative. It's harder to do these days. So we get some misses like Drag N Drive. Still TOTK.BOTW. Labo and such like you said still innovate.
