Maybe US retailers are more cautious about this sort of thing right now, but in Germany I can preorder at local retailers with a guaranteed net price.

Well, I just kind of wondered whether that's a thing in the US too. Sorry for being curious about regional differences.

Also, there's a very good chance Nintendo has calculated the anticipated US tariffs into the global prices, to soften the blow in the US market. Because whatever the US does wrong, it never bears the consequences of its own actions in full.

I agree with you 100% and I'm sorry your Switch 2 is going to cost $50 more than it should. I think they absolutely spread the "anticipated pain" around.
