Nintendo’s been saying this for decades, though this particular message is ridiculous.
But I still love playing my old SNES games. The Switch was laughably under-powered, but I still sank hundreds of hours into dozens and dozens of games… Because Nintendo values gameplay over spectacle. They’re not the only ones, of course, but I think they consistently do it better than most.
Very true, though I think for many it is still a home console in their head because on the surface it appears like a direct continuation of the Wii U. It’s actually the opposite - a portable console that can optionally be used as a home console with, in some cases, improvements to the visuals when doing so. Some people still see Nintendo as being in direct competition with Sony and Microsoft when they really haven’t been for a long time now.

I wouldn’t say the Switch was laughably underpowered, it was a very solid step up from its actual predecessor, the 3DS.
