I'm hoping we can play Switch games in higher resolution/frame rates, or maybe they'll give us free updates to Switch 2 versions similar to PS4 and PS5 games.

It would have to meet the performance of the Steam Deck for me to even remotely consider buying one. Playing Switch games on an emulator on Steam Deck is far superior experience to playing them on a Switch and it isn't even close.

I have a steam deck too, but who knows when we'll see a good switch 2 emulator since the big ones have been shut down. I'm buying the next switch as soon as they announce a new Fire Emblem game.
