There can be a thousand reasons to favour something, yet it only takes one reason to reject it.

As for the inexpensive bit, I've never really viewed Nintendo in that light because the games themselves are rather expensive. For my older DS/3DS it wasn't much of an issue since there was the secondhand market. It sounds like the secondhand market is a gamble with the Switch 2 which, at least in my case, makes it a non-starter. That is especially true since they are punishing the person with the legitimate cartridge, who may or may not have been the person who pirated the game.

Sure, but OP asked why anyone would ever buy one, and all of those alone can be a justification. He didn’t ask “how doesn’t everyone view these problems as a non-starter”. It’s an unbelievably popular and fast-selling console - the entire premise of the question is weird anyways.
