Nintendo doesn't owe you a cheap way to deploy your custom binaries to devices.

Buy a Steam Deck if you want that. Build it for Web GL or Android. Plenty of options exist.

I'm not sure what OP actually wants here. Even if you can get your game running on your own Switch, it's not easy to get it up on the store.

What they actually want is a cheap way to develop games with their kid and possibly share them over sneakernet with her friends.

Nintendo obviously doesn’t owe them that, and it doesn’t seem to be supported. But, this is a good place to cast around for ideas.

A Switch is simply not the right device.

You can punish a Web GL build of the game to Itch.io and everyone could try it straight from their phones.

Why not? Why should I not be allowed to run whatever I want on a device I supposedly own?

We don't owe Nintendo to let them sell their junk.

Then buy a different product.

It's well known game consoles aren't the place to run custom code. If you can figure it out, power to you, but it's simply not a supported use case of the product.
