Nintendo has shown time and time again that they do not have the manpower to simultaneously support two platforms at the same time. You can disagree all you want, but there's a bunch of Wii U's covered in dust to prove otherwise. The Switch currently has two noteworthy first-party exclusives and both of them are Wii U up-ports, the library situation is dire and if Nintendo should focus on something, it'd be the Switch, not the 3DS which hasn't seen a truly noteworthy blockbuster since Pokemon Sun/Moon. It's time to pull the lever on the 3DS, they already have the hybrid everybody wanted, so there's no reason for them to have two incompatible portable consoles on the market at the same time. The 3DS crowd needs to switch, pun intended, if their new console is supposed to succeed, and for that the Switch needs content.
Is that cheaper to do? I don't see why they would do it that way. Making the battery non-replaceable won't prevent people who want to mod it from doing so.
Many people think the same and a Mini Switch will be an inevitable consequence. I suspect that a more portable version of the system is already in the works, as it's the case with most systems.
Of course they don't. If they did rely on common sense, they wouldn't release three home consoles that bombed worldwide, with the Wii being a notable exception due to its gimmicky nature. You might think that a library smaller than the average amount of digits on a human hand is acceptable, but mainstream gamers most certainly do not. I wish the Switch well, but the whole point of its design is to bridge the gap between the home console and the portable, which is exactly why Nintendo should promptly axe the alternatives.
