Fully agreed. Nintendo has a very differentiated market of game offerings on their platforms, and that's the reason people buy it. They don't buy Switch for the (underpowered compared to competitors) hardware, or something else.
That's imo the biggest problem Xbox console is facing. Does it have good third party games? Plenty. Does it make sense to buy Xbox if you already own a PS4/PS5 or a gaming PC? Not really, since the overlap of third party games available on all of them is giant. The only game I know people care about that is Xbox exclusive is Halo series. I don't know a single person who owns a PS4/PS5+Xbox or even gaming PC+Xbox. I know tons of people owning a PC+PS4/PS5, and I know a ton of people who own either a PS4/PS5+Switch or gaming PC+Switch (or all 3 of them). And that's Nintendo's unique offering, being an incredible complement to other consoles, not a direct competitor, while also being a great product of its own that doesn't just function as an add-on.
Mind you, I am not saying that Nintendo shouldn't increase the number of third party games present on their platform, quite the opposite. The increase of third party games on Switch is a really welcome development. However, under no circumstances should they decrease the number of first party games, otherwise they would end up in a losing position.
