It's a portable gaming device. It is in the same market.
You can play complex strategy games that require strong CPUs like Project Highrise, The Final Earth 2, Mega Mall Story 2 on mobile.
You won't be able to run The Final Earth 2 even with the standard mobile population limit on a Switch because it uses an ancient CPU and it's a quad core.
Don't limit yourself by Nintendo PR and marketing. The gaming world (portable or otherwise) is not limited to Nintendo.
