People do own it, and when we bought the hardware, we were sold a game console that plays games specifically designed for it. That's it. If you expected more, you've been lied to. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, exactly what it was sold to do, and it does this very well. If you want development hardware, then buy development hardware. There's no shortage of it; it's everywhere. Go nuts. If you buy commercial hardware meant for use by end users, made by a company that fights hard against piracy, you get hardware that is anywhere between "annoyingly difficult" all the way to "virtually impossible" to use in your own way. This should not come as a surprise. The Switch is sold as a game console, and nothing more. Certainly not a development platform. If you can squeeze a development platform out of an off-the-shelf Switch, you are lucky. If you can't, then you got exactly what you were sold, and you have (in my eyes) very little room to complain about the lack of development capability. You knew what you were buying when you bought it.
