Do you think Nintendo will ever cave in at some point and consider putting their games on steam?

I don't expect Nintendo to. They are too busy selling their consoles and trying to keep stuff on their consoles to consider going off.

The best thing we can do is not buy from them, and enough people get annoyed at Nintendo's antics that the entire gaming industry starves off and removes the bad portions.

Yahyah, in all seriousness Nintendo wouldn't want to affect their hardware sales by doing that! They're pretty successful all things considered, they're not what they used to be sure but they aren't Sony of California (vomit emoji) or what's become of poor Sega. If Nintendo ever crashes and burns MAYBE they might license out their games but that won't be any time soon. The Switch is still selling quite well even today across most regions and it came out in 2017!! It's insane when you think about it.

It is insane, it's also insane that in my region (AU) people keep buying them at full retail price:
$539 OLED
$469 Base
$329 Lite
...20 seconds on google and you can easily get it cheaper but people don't seem to care.

Do you expect fangirls with no impulse control to be smart with their money?

500 dollarydoos for the OLED and 400 kangaroobucks for the base? That's a lot! It's still quite over priced here too at like 300 euros.. but still, yeah!

Barring a colossal change in fortunes, like the upcoming Switch 2 not selling a single copy,

Once I saw it I considered it actually might have comparable sales figures. It's virtually indistinguishable from the Switch. Maybe they're trying to do "another DSi"?

Short answer:

Long answer: They already have a iron fist with their monopoly of exclusives, now imagine if they had control of our PC via virtual store, aside their consoles has hard to replicate on PC gimmics without selling organs, you'd like to pay 1999,99 for PC implements to emulate gtroscope and touch to play Zelda: Attack of the sequel only to turn out it detects your emulators and permabans your account that you NEED to play even online games?

Not gonna happen, Nintendo is smart enough to know how small she is compared to behemoths like Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo can only survive in a controlled environment. The only possibility I see of Nintendo going to PC is maybe with the creation of her own closed game streaming service
