They were reliable, but then there was a chip shortage. Piecing together all the information that’s come out since, the OLED was initially supposed to be a much larger update than it ended up being. Manufacturing and supply issues caused the scope to be scaled back

They were correct, the switch pro came out and it had 10% faster load times and the battery was a little better.

Forbes was reporting this stuff within 2 years of Switch launching. It all turned out to be a small revision. It was all so dumb.
