I don't think there's anything wrong with a GOOD indie title, it's just unfortunate that you have to wade through so much garbage to find them. But the good ones get a lot of attention and seem well publicized.
As far as ports, it kinda sucks that they're bringing over pretty much every Wii U title they can. I owned a Wii U, I've already played those games! But I do understand that it was a massively underperforming console so I see the argument for bringing over the games that a lot of people missed out on, and it's probably pretty cost-effective for Nintendo to do so. I'm not mad at them for operating like a business.
I also see the point that many people want to play games like Skyrim, DOOM, Wolfenstein, etc. on a portable system, even if the games don't perform as well as they do on other platforms. Me personally, I have very large hands so I find the Switch uncomfortable to use in portable mode for extended periods. I also feel like there's some games that I want to play portable because they lend themselves to that setup, and some I want to play on my TV with a Pro Controller. I'm certainly not very competitive in Splatoon 2 trying to wrestle with the Joycons and the awkward stick placement (for me anyway) but I love playing it with the Pro Controller.
I guess the option for the Switch to be both portable and docked is there though so whatever use case you fall into, you have options.
I just don't see much sense in deriding it as solely a 'port machine' because as I said, some of those games people would like to play in portable mode rather than be tied to their PC or console, or they may not own the other consoles where the games are available or a powerful enough PC. I think some people take for granted that owning that many entertainment systems (and especially a high-powered PC) are luxuries that not everybody can afford. I mean, for most of those titles I'd choose my PS4 or PC but I am thankful for having the means to afford those things. I think as time goes on we'll see more original Switch games that are very much worth playing, there's already a few on the horizon that I'm interested in.
It's like people tend to forget that the first few years after launch are a tough time for a new console, it often takes until about year 3 for the list of 'must-play' games to accumulate to an appreciable length. I've seen it happen with pretty much every console I've ever owned at launch dating back to even the NES days.
