If you want to know why Nintendo is releasing the Switch OLED with only minimal upgrades to the screen and hard drive, look no further than the economics of what it costs Nintendo to make.
According to Bloomberg, the $350 unit, $50 more than the current Switch, only has $10 worth of upgrades, it’s estimated.
They most definitely did adjust for inflation, they just didn’t tell you.
They also make that as an option, not a command. Nintendo is also looking into shrinking the package size for games. They are aware of inflation and adjusting.
You do realize that the ps5 is made at a loss correct? Unlike the switch. The cost to manufacture a ps5 is still only $50 less than its cost, without adding in any development cost, advertising, or distribution. I had a switch that glitched on me an was essentially unusable after I bought an initial release, if you remember the drag issue that a lot of switch controllers had and made playing handheld mode impossible. The switch also still has a complete shitshow of forcing “non-primary” switches that you bought and have one account on to connect to the internet anytime you want to play a game, which happened to me when I bought a switch lite to have as a handheld. Sorry, but for all of Sonys shitty problems, hardware has never been an issue. My ps3, ps4, and ps5 all run great and have since I bought them. I can stream my ps5 on my ps4 or on a pc screen now.

So? Sony has a stupid business model and Nintendo doesn't, therefore Nintendo bad?

So you had a bad experience with your Switch that isn't indicative of most people's experiences, therefore Nintendo bad. Ignoring the near 100% failure rate of PS1s and PS2s (those nylon gears just didn't hold up very well.)
Also, my original NES, purchased in '85, would like to say hi. So would my Gamecube, purchased at launch, just to compare devices with moving parts. Unfortunately, my Microsoft and Sony hardware has all had to be replaced. My Dreamcast still works, but it admittedly didn't get a ton of use to reveal wear-and-tear flaws.
Sony hardware has historically been cheap garbage. But at least it's better than Microsoft hardware which is poorly-designed, cheap garbage.
Meanwhile the switch hasn't gone down in price once. Adjusted for inflation it has.
