Don't forget having to buy a MacOS device in this equation.

Yeah that's pretty prohibitive for most people who couldn't spare $450 for a switch dev kit
Develop on a Hackintosh (either bare metal or VM, there's more than enough guides for both), build using Github Actions, and that's it. If you want to stay fully legit, rent a Mac instance from AWS or the myriad "Mac-as-a-Service" companies and be done with it.
I bought an XBox, too.
