"actions of companies who want to lock out users from the devices they own."

This doesn't really matter. When someone buys a Nintendo Switch they are aware that you can only use software from an official channel from the manufacturer.

It's not a sneaky action by them nobody is forced to use a Switch and its primary functionality is consuming entertainment products.

It's not like a router or tv set top box that you are forced to use.
