They sell the hardware at a loss and initial adopters are more likely to be able to find an exploit that allows the console to play pirated games. If a Lite comes out early enough, there’s hope that it might be exploitable.
It’s my understanding that the Steam Deck is not performant when it comes to running Switch games via Yuzu/Ryujinx so it would probably be even worse with Switch 2 games, which are probably more taxing to emulate.
All that said, I have a Switch Lite that I share with my wife and I like it. There are so many companies you’re “not allowed” to buy from according to Lemmy lol, I don’t have the time for that. Almost all publishers are ass, should I never buy a game again?
Edit: As pointed out, Nintendo consoles are not sold at a loss.

Why would you give money to Nintendo?
Because they want to play games and have fun
You can do that without giving money to Nintendo.
