The switch was a giant hit though.

In a console age of chasing only graphics it was definitely a creative approach.

They just saw how bad the Wii-U did and went "what if the console was inside the screen instead?"

The Wii-u crashed so the switch could fly.

Surely they're referring to the Wii-U. The Switch is not innovative. It's a Wii-U derivative.

The Switch is innovative? So much so that, upon seeing it's success, literally everyone copied them in one form or another?

Its not innovative to smash controllers onto a smartphone device. What is innovative was their optimization for mobile gaming. Its similar to saying valve is innovative for selling other peoples games.
