Believe it or not, the majority of people don't just default to "but I could just pirate this instead", especially when a decent computer will easily be more than twice as expensive as a switch.

Beyond that, you lose out on the multi-player aspect of things. The switch is also far better in terms of portability than the alternatives in pc space, both in terms of size and battery life.
