You can't just connect a digital video out to an analog input with a passive adapter.

As far as I'm aware, the Switch doesn't provide analog video out.

I did ask for it because I'm not entirely sure if it supports it or not.
No idea why you're so "

just saying you seemed to think the opposite so i just provide some evidence that disproves your claim
"BOI!!!"

That was a childish remark. You can provide evidence, but avoid coming off as a prick, you know?

Essentially, if digital video over VGA isn't supported (it isn't standard, chances are it isn't), you won't be able to use it.
I was not mistaken, as far as my research has shown me.
There's no passive adapter that can convert digital to analog.
