Plenty of people forget that Nintendo needs to hit a price point on this device. So there are some things we might not think are ideal but need to be the way they are to make financial sense. Things like storage size, screen tech, are two of the areas where a compromise might have been needed. Also let's not pretend that there aren't good LCD screens that could be used, OLED isn't the be all and end all.

LCD is serviceable but it does feel a bit funny to go back to that when Nintendo and its top fans spent the last couple years saying "No, but you don't get it, buying another one just for the OLED is absolutely worth it"
