People are sensationalizing this article more than it actually is. The content of it was pretty grounded.
It gives no indication at all whether a switch pro is coming because at this point that's determined by market factors.

I'm not entirely unconvinced that Nintendo had originally planned for a Switch Pro this year, but may just be waiting for the Switch 2 now with all the chip shortages.
At this point show it officially or with a leak or just be quiet. I'm not getting back on that train right now
Chip shortage (includign the 'new' supply issue announcements, as well as the lowered aluminum production) make it fairly evident that the 4k variant got delayed - now I'm just curious on whether this is technically still in the Switch family (aka Switch Pro), or whether it ends up being more akin to a Switch 2.
4 years isn't long for a nintendo console, but at this point outside of 1st party stuff it either takes massive cuts to graphics/features, being a 'cloud' version, or designed from the ground up to be scale-able down to the switch's specs - and that's before we even really start getting into next-gen proper.
Granted, that's a big assumption that nintendo cares about that kind of scenario given how well the switch is selling...guess we'll see.

Yeah Bloomberg me like "we are not wrong, Nintendo, just confirm it already ffs"
Honestly, I feel the inaccurate thing could actually be release timing considering Bloomberg's track on accurate content but inaccurate timing.
But imho, considering the devkit timing (Late 2020 for the first wave), and the SoC likely nearing Tape-Out (Thank you Kopite), Summer 2022 is also a potential release window.
Summer 2022, Holiday 2022, or Early 2023 are the possible windows imho.
