Yep, the separation from the rest of your stuff is probably the main draw of a Switch if I were to get one right now. Similarly to how I rarely use the Oculus Link functionality on my Quest 2, it's just nice to have a device that feels independent of my work station.
Was just messing about with CEMU yday and found I could play BOTW in 4K at 60fps on my computer, it looked absolutely beautiful compaired to playing on my Wii U but I can't see myself being able to settle down and play on that machine.
I also think having access to so much stuff has made the hassle of tinkering not worth it for most people. Can remember back as a kid with dial up how I would relentlessly fine tune configurations to get some emulated games to a playable state, the slightly bit of lag on an emulation now and I'm like "crap, is this gonna keep happening? can I be bothered enduring this??"
Get a good controller and use the Steam Link app as a cheap and easy way to extend your PC to wherever you have good wifi. I have a Razer Kishi and it delivers a very good switch-like experience.
