People are buying it because they love Nintendo games like you said. It’s also because most people don’t know enough to emulate/are scared off by anti piracy laws.
Another reason is that people are impatient, if the price dropped I would be tempted to buy one, especially if they also announce a new 3d mario (odyssey is one of my favourite games of all time). I’d want to play it now and not wait for the switch 2 to be hacked.
A lot of people who know how to emulate also would rather buy original hardware because playing on it is just better (I’m the same, if the joycons didn’t drift, I probably wouldn’t emulate my switch 1 games on my deck)

I read a post that the new Donkey Kong was made by the same team that did Odyssey I hope that is true.
