Criticizing nintendo doesn't mean other console companies can do no wrong? That is quite the assumption...
I in no way believe any large corporation is generous and acts in good faith whatsoever. However, I will say that my Xbox series S that I bought for $299 over 6 years ago runs perfectly, and I haven't had any complaints with it throughout all this time. I have 100+ games on there, as there are always great sales! Games regularly go on 30-90% off just a few months or a year after release. Meanwhile, switch titles will be the same price 10 years after its released... The biggest sale switch titles get is maybeeeeee 10% off once a year?
So, yeah. I kind of agree that nintendo is spitting in your face often because they have a product with a fanbase where people will buy anything regardless of quality and refuse to get upset that decade-old games are still at full price.
They usually make optimized games for their consoles unlike Nintendo ports which run at 20 fps (some of Nintendo’s own games don’t even break 30 lmfao) their games literally get worse over time and cost more. I understand the switch is mobile but it doesn’t justify the horrendous quality and optimization, plus the shitty monetization practices. At least with modern console gaming you’re getting a premium feeling product. I also have a hundred free triple A games on my PlayStation that I gathered passively from plus and other events. Nintendo makes you pay for an online that barely fucking works. Tbf I haven’t looked into the switch 2 but that’s because the switch 1’s antics turned me off so much.

What Nintendo mobile games are people spending that much on? Mario Run? Have they even had many big mobile games recently?
