In an interview with IGN, Nintendo has explained why it made Switch 2 Welcome Tour a $10 standalone game and not a free console pack-in.

Nothing out of the ordinary for Nintendo, unfortunately. Even the blockbuster Wii Sports was an aberration that they had to be convinced about.

[Reggie] Fils-Aimé pushed for [Wii Sports to be bundled free with the Wii], and initially company President Satoru Iwata turned the proposal down: “Nintendo does not give away precious content for free.”

This game doesn’t even seem like it will have the same replay value of Wii sports. I don’t know who would want to open this game just to re read some descriptions of features.
