I think the big difference is that they seem to be optimizing for customer satisfaction where others are not.
My favorite example I use often is how the Steam Deck comes with a case. It’s free and there’s not even an option to not get it. They know you need one, they include it. The Switch doesn’t come with a case. They know you need one but they don’t care. You’ll buy one if you want it bad enough and that’s more revenue.
I had a first gen and bought it at a discount (10% for Newsletter sign up I immediately cancelled after ordering hah). Iirc it cost me about 350€ which was still a lot but compared to what’s going on now…
Gifted it to my mother for the grandkids because I bought a steamdeck and never used the switch again.

I’m still amazed that the Lenovo Legion Go costs almost $300 more than the SD but does not come with a case.
To be fair, Steam makes money from the games, Lenovo do not
