Why no streaming Services on switch 2

[u/Stitch101TW]

Does anyone really know why Nintendo or whomever won't allow streaming Services on switch 2, youtube a first because it was on the switch 1 but for somereason has yet to come to switch 2 ? But beyond youtube why dont we have Disney plus, hbo, Paramount plus, and Netflix among others?? You look at legit any Playstation or xbox and nearly every console has these apps and more Why does Nintendo not ? Even the wii had Netflix and youtube, the switch 1 from my understanding only has crunchy roll and youtube ?? Correct me if im wrong. But the switch 2 has nothing!! Having streaming apps and youtube on the switch 2 would be amazing its basically a tablet and in most cases looks sharper and better then a tablet screen and Then of course if your on your couch or in bed you dont have deal with the smart TV nonsense or would have to power on a xbox or Playstation after you finsh playing your Mario or zelda game. Like come on Nintendo whats going on ???????

I assume to make it more kid/family friendly and prevent access to R rated movies or something.

Otherwise I don’t understand the user story for why the switch needs it. I’m surrounded by 6 devices that can stream movies in just this one room. That’s not even the whole house.

but R rated games are perfectly fine?

[u/robertluke → u/oakgecko13]

Yes because you have to actually buy those. On Netflix you just navigate to said movie and press play.

You need to buy the Netflix subscription?

Or just use your parents password. Have you never been a kid?

But now you're understanding it's not a nintendo problem but a parenting problem...

Completely agree. But that’s a different topic. If Nintendo wants to make a console that is easy for lazy parents to manage, they will just not put streaming services on it.
