Nintendo was super competent with the Switch, their kernel is actually ridiculously secure. I'm pretty sure if Nvidia hadn't messed up, we would still be scratching our heads with the Switch.

It's not impossible or even hard to lock down Linux. Just look at Chrome OS, it's Gentoo based, but with the bootloader locked and root access removed, it is pretty much immutable.
And Chromebooks just use off the shelf parts.
What's the problem with the port? It's considerably less prone to accumulate debris in my experience.
USB C cables are more fragile, but it's designed that way so the ports are more durable. And I think having more durable ports is the right call.

Brother printers are still very decent and most importantly, not DRM ridden.
There's a lot they could have done, locking down Linux isn't that hard. Just look at Chrome OS, it's based on Gentoo, yet it's locked down completely. All they had.to do is lock the BIOS, enable secure boot and disable root access, and then it's pretty much a locked system.
