It’s the emptiest open world ever made. Shrines take longer to load than to beat.

You are entitled to your opinion, if you find BotW boring. But the original point was that it was a critically acclaimed and incredibly successful system seller. You claimed that the switch sold well because of the third party support. But if it weren’t for Nintendo’s system sellers (Zelda and Mario Odyssey), the third parties wouldn’t have bothered developing for the switch. You also agreed that the switch is hard to develop for. By your logic, the PS Vita and the WiiU would have had to be successful. Stop focusing on your shit takes in order to distract from the original point.

Bookstores are also dying, and stores are abandoning physical media of all kinds because people don’t buy them.

Yes, and single player games are also dying. /s You have already shown that you make wrong assumptions based on what you feel is right (like Nintendo depending on collectors).

There isn’t performance to eke out of it.

Compare TotK to launch titles. That game is a testament on how much you can get out of aging hardware. Supposedly, Alien Isolation’s port for the switch is the best edition.

They absolutely could have made money on an extremely small market. It’s what they’ve been doing for years.

When? When has Nintendo relied on niche markets (since the NES, I mean).

Even without their huge cash reserves

What “huge” money reserves? The ones from the WiiU? They only got their cash reserves after they released the switch.

Again, that’s their entire philosophy as a company. They do not take financial risks.

Lol, do you remember the N64, the Virtualboy, the Gamecube, the WiiU, etc?
