Yeah, I absolutely disagree with their community interaction, but they're fantastic for what I want them for: fun, family friendly games. I have young kids, and their games are a lot of fun to play together.
If it weren't for my kids, I probably wouldn't buy one since I'm more than satisfied with Steam. But games like Mario Kart and Mario Party are just a ton of fun to play together. I honestly haven't found another studio as dedicated to making great games for the whole family to play together.
So that's why I buy Nintendo games and consoles. However, because I don't like their community interaction, I limit myself to only those games, whereas I'd probably but a ton more games from them if they weren't so hostile.
I understand your situation. If you do want to dodge Nintendo however you might be able to get a similar experience by emulating a Switch on a Steam Deck.
