Yeah most likely you can't even use nand modules from other retail units on a retail unit. As I recall, someone managed to isolate the NAND on a 3DS and replace it with a MicroSD card. But first they had to alter the chip ID so it matched the old one. This was because the console encrypted the NAND file system (at least the FIRM partitions and the CTR_NAND partition. The other partitions may have used different encryption method/keys) based on a console unique key and the NAND ID.
There's a high chance the Switch does this too. Though I've heard the console uses GPT after reading this tweet:

So it uses a known partition layout so you could adjust it to fit larger chips. That's if the partition info isn't signed which we don't know yet?
