Good luck getting anywhere close to Nintendo Switch sales with anything that's not Nintendo Switch.

Valve managing to land Steam Deck within 2 orders of magnitude from that? That was already an unlikely feat.

One of the main use-cases of the Steam Deck? Wii-U and Switch emulation!

Valve managing to land Steam Deck within 2 orders of magnitude on their first handheld hardware launch, without some of the largest exclusive gaming IP in the world, selling direct to consumer... represent salient arguments for its ability to compete at a far greater extent when on more equal terms.
