Nintendo DS and Switch are the second and third most sold consoles ever, respectively. Gameboy and GB Colour comes in fourth of you count them together. Wii is sixth or seventh depending on if you group the above.
I think people like their consoles.

I imagine Nintendo could make a tonne selling Zelda games for PC for 1.5x what they normally charge, simply for performance and controller compatibility.

Right?
If they hate emulators so much, why aren’t they selling native x86 versions?

they could even sell a VM image as they’ve proven it still runs better virtualised on other machines than it does native on theirs

Don’t switch games already cost more than PC games, I kinda doubt people would be willing to pay even more.

Depends on your country but switch games range 50-70 € and pc games are more like 10-100€ but with ones comparable to Switch games mostly 30-60€. So yes mostly, but they’re not that far off that they would definitely do poorly.

I don’t think a lot of people would buy e.g. BotW for 100 bucks.
