The Switch is none of those things and yet still manages to sell 100x more units.
Orange juice is nothing like apple juice, and yet both still sell
And yet one sells 100x more than the other.
The switch has brand recognition, loyalty from decades ago, and ease of use (for the less tech savvy).
Steam has all of those as well.
It has exclusives iirc, steam deck "just" has the rest.
The switch also has coop multiplayer and a few other things going for it as well.
Switch is more portable and also easier to dock.
