We got a switch a few years ago and it collected dust. The shop is overpriced (and slow) and I guess we aren't really into their first-party titles. I don't see what it offers against a steam deck except the aforementioned first-party titles.

It offers the first-party titles, basically. If you don't want those then there's no reason to get one.
For me, Nintendo is the most reliable game developer these days. Every main Mario and Zelda game offers something new and executes it well on the first try. I'll buy Switch 2 for Mario and Zelda alone.
I tried BotW and it didn't really click. The food mechanics felt bolted on, just like the weapon durability stuff, and everything felt too easy/within reach. I guess I'm not the target, it's okay.
Got it. Then, for sure, the switch wasn't going to be for you.
I'm not a Nintendo die hard, but I played on my N64 a ton. Then spent some solid years on PC or xbox360. Now, with kids, the switch is my preferred console.
The entire reason to buy the switch is the first party titles. If you don't like those/Nintendo games, the switch and all switch derivatives aren't going to be for you.
