You have a weird definition of platform "ecosystem". How is buying a computing device (gaming or otherwise) that locks you down to only running software purchased from the manufacturer's store not forcing you into their ecosystem?

I guess if you mean no one is forcing you to buy a switch sure. But if you own a switch, you have to procure software through Nintendo. That's being locked into an ecosystem by definition.
