They said it about the DS at the time. It was meant to run in parallel with the GBA as a “premium” thing for adults. They said it about the SNES, too, actually.
This bit of random outrage is fun to me because it’s something that has been Nintendo’s official stance since the early 90s, but it’s swung back around due to Don Mattrick being such a charisma black hole that what used to be the natural, go-to response to “how come the new, more advanced version is more expensive” has now become a genuine snafu.
Didn’t you hear? Just buy a switch 1 if you can’t afford or care for the switch 2.

You can also buy this controller and use it with PCs for an authentic emulation experience.

PR is not about reality, it’s about perception.
Nintendo greedy? Always has been.
And yet the anger is new. Again, it’s about perception, not reality.
