You're assuming they would if they made a "regular" console? The market is already crowded enough with the two virtually-identical systems. While I think it's disappointing the Nintendo Switch's specs are not on par with the Xbox One's or PS4's, (and that it's $300 and not $250...) being about half as powerful, (I think?) anybody smart enough to make a full-fledged video game can figure out how to lower 60fps to 30fps or 1080p (about 2M pixels) to 720p (about 1M pixel).

Talk about weak hardware! The original 3DS is on par with the GameCube, which had been around for 10 years when it was released. That's a continuation of what happened with the DS, but with how much mobile chipsets had improved at that point, it was inexcusable. (Remember the $250 price point too? I got it when it first came out...)
The Switch is off to a good start. I'm a bit concerned about how it will do latter though; I think developers are still waiting to see how it does, but this could create a sort of self fulfilling prophesy, because if they wait and see if it is doing good before working on anything, people will see that no games are coming out and sales will drop, which will reaffirm their doubts.
